The rest of the world will say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

But some of us were born for more.

Some of us were born to engage.

To activate.

To power on.

Some brought us light.

Some brought us the miracle of flight.

Some brought us the very freedom we have to discover these things. But they all had one thing in common: they would not be extinguished.

A light switched on in them that could never be turned off.

And the world benefitted.

So go ahead. Fix what isn’t broken.

Tinker, and alter, and update.

And if anyone has a problem with that, We’ll be here waiting.

NOW

The University of New Haven offers both binding and non-binding admission programs for first-year student fall admission: Early Decision, Early Action I, Early Action II, and Regular Decision. Transfer applications are accepted on a rolling basis for both the fall and spring semesters.

Our admissions staff begins reviewing applications for the fall semester on September 1 on a rolling basis, even for Early Decision and Early Action. Students should expect to receive a decision on their completed application within four to six weeks of when the application is complete.

The University of New Haven uses the Common Application. To begin your application, go to newhaven.edu/applyvb

Early uses or commonapp.org

Important Dates

Early Decision Application Deadline: December 1

Early Action I

Application Deadline: December 15

Early Action II

Application Deadline: February 15

Regular Decision Applications Submitted after February 15

Early Decision vs. Early Action

If the University of New Haven is your definite first choice, you should plan on applying for Early Decision. By applying for binding Early Decision, students are agreeing that they will enroll at the University of New Haven if they are offered admission.

If we are one of your top schools but you would like to keep your options open, you should plan on applying for Early Action. Early Action means you will receive a decision on your application much earlier in the process and have more time to make an informed decision about your college choice before the May 1 enrollment deadline.

Students who are admitted under Early Decision or Early Action will receive a guaranteed minimum $15,000 annual merit scholarship.

Test Optional

The University of New Haven does not require students interested in most of our academic programs to submit SAT/ACT scores. As a student-fi rst institution that aims to make education both personal and pragmatic, we want students to determine whether their SAT/ACT scores are an accurate representation of their academic ability.

If students feel their SAT/ACT scores are not relevant, they will not be penalized during admissions review if they do not submit test scores.

Additionally, for most majors and programs, we follow a “do no harm” approach to reviewing applications that includes SAT or ACT score results. When possible, we will only use your submitted SAT or ACT score results if the scores have a positive effect on your admissions decision and/or scholarship. If your SAT or ACT scores would negatively affect your chance of admission and/or scholarship, we will automatically exclude your scores during the review process.
