Fall 2013 application deadlines
We all work better with deadlines, right? So while we operate on a rolling admission basis (we accept applications throughout the year), we recommend that you submit your application with the timetable below in mind. And remember: the sooner you complete your application, the sooner you'll hear back from us.
Fall 2013 Application Timeline |
||
|---|---|---|
| After March 1, 2013 |
Rolling Admission and Financial Aid Awards |
After March 1, 2013, the admission office will respond to applications on a rolling basis and will send financial aid packages when a student is admitted and has submitted necessary financial aid applications, such as the FAFSA. |
| May 1, 2013 |
College Decision Day | May 1 is generally considered the date by which most colleges and universities expect to hear back from you regarding your college choice. Houghton College will continue to accept applications after May 1, 2013 on a rolling basis but it is to a student's advantage to apply early for the best options for financial aid and housing. |
