Undergradate Applicants

Review the information below for information for undergraduate applicants.

Freshman Applicants (New Students)

A freshman applicant must submit the application for admission, the non-refundable application fee and an official transcript reflecting all high school course work, grades and date of graduation. The transcript must be mailed directly to the Office of Admission by the applicant's secondary school.

The applicant will be informed regarding the status of the application within 30 days after all necessary documents have been received. A freshman applicant may be admitted prior to actual graduation from a high school (located in Washington, DC) on a provisional basis. Such provisional status will be removed by the Office of Admission upon receipt of the student's complete high school transcript indicating date of graduation.

Transfer Applicants (New Students)

Transfer applicants must submit the Application for admission, the non-refundable application fee, and official copies of all college transcripts showing course work and grades earned in previously attended institutions. Official transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Admission by the student's previous college or university. Transfer students who have earned fewer than 30 college credits also must have official copies of high school transcripts submitted. Acceptability of transfer credits by the University is determined by the Office of Admission. Acceptability is based on the accreditation of the previously attended institution and the student's level of performance (i.e., a grade of "C" or better; see section on Credit and Grading for additional information). At the time of application to the University, transfer students must list all previously institutions attended. Failure to do so may result in the denial of transfer credit.

Transfer applicants wishing to apply for financial aid must also have each of their former colleges' or post secondary schools' financial aid offices submit a financial aid transcript to the UDC Financial Aid Office.

International transfer applicants must submit the same as above with the F-1 Transfer Certification Form.

Special Students

A special student is defined as a person presently enrolled and pursuing a degree at another accredited undergraduate collegiate institution who wishes to attend UDC for one term. This applicant is regarded as a special student and must submit the application for undergraduate admission and pay the non-refundable application fee by the application deadline for the term for which he or she is seeking admission. An applicant enrolled at another institution at the time the application is submitted must have by the deadline a letter of good academic standing sent by the registrar of his/her institution to the Office of Admission at UDC. Permission letters to attend UDC are not acceptable.

A special student wishing to enroll for a subsequent term must submit an application for readmission, the non-refundable application fee, and request the registrar at each undergraduate collegiate institution previously attended to forward an official transcript to the UDC Office of Admission. These items must be received no later than the admission deadline applicable to the term for which the applicant wishes to re-register.

Readmission

Students who do not register for classes for two consecutive semesters (excluding summer sessions) and students who are suspended for academic reasons will be required to apply for readmission to the University. The Application for Readmission, along with the non-refundable readmission fee must be received in the Office of Admission by the application deadline for the term for which the student is seeking admission. The Office of Admission will review applications, consider prior academic records, and grant readmission in accordance with the policy and procedures of the University.
