Admission Deadlines

UDC accepts applications at any time from undergraduate students for the fall, spring, and summer semesters, and from graduate students for the fall and spring semesters. UDC makes admissions decisions on a rolling basis.

Priority Deadline

Undergraduate and graduate students are strongly encouraged to apply to UDC by the priority application deadline. Students who apply by the priority deadline receive the following benefits:

• Guaranteed seat if admitted
• Guaranteed admissions response within an expedited timeframe
• Eligible for full institutional scholarship consideration (separate application not required except as noted on scholarship website)
• Advantage in securing low-cost housing on UDC’s campus as applications for UDC housing are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Applications submitted after the priority deadline are considered on a space available basis only.

Students who do not submit a complete application before the beginning of the term for which they are applying are not guaranteed admission for the current term, and may be admitted for the subsequent term instead.

On-Site Admissions

UDC will host on-site admissions events for prospective students on Wednesday, February 8; Wednesday, March 7; and Wednesday, April 4 in the Windows Lounge at the Van Ness campus from 3:00pm-7:00pm. Current applicants and interested students for summer or fall enrollment should attend to learn more about the benefits of UDC, and can complete an application and receive admission to the University on the spot. The application fee will be waived for all attendees.

Applicants for admission should bring official or unofficial copies of H.S. transcripts, test scores, and for transfer students, college transcripts from all previous institutions attended to ensure an admissions decision can be made on the spot.

Please RSVP for the event by emailing UDCadmission@udc.edu and write the date of the event (i.e. February 8, March 7, or April 4)  in the title of your email. We look forward to seeing you soon!
