Admission Requirements

Ursuline College admits those candidates who demonstrate potential for success in rigorous academic work. Qualified applicants are admitted regardless of gender, race, religion, color, age, veteran status, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression or physical ability. The credentials of each applicant are individually evaluated, with consideration given to academic record, entrance examination scores and evidence of motivation for college studies. The College reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant.

Ursuline College utilizes a rolling admission process. When you apply for admission, your completed application will be evaluated and you will typically receive an admission decision within 7 days. We admit students year-round as space is available.

All applications are reviewed on a need-blind basis, which means admission decisions are based solely on a student's academic and extra-curricular merits, not on his or her family's financial circumstances.

All applicants utilize the same application, located here.
