Rhodes' admissions policy is to only consider applications for transfer from students who are in good standing at the last institution attended.

Application Deadlines Priority will be given to applications for admission and financial assistance postmarked by January 15 for students who wish to be considered for competitive scholarships or who have been nominated for Bellingrath and Hyde Scholarships and by February 1 for fall regular decision candidates. If your application and supporting credentials are received by the appropriate deadline , notification of the Faculty Committee on Admissions' decision will be sent to you by April 1. All first year students at Rhodes must live on campus until they have completed two full academic years.
Deposits are non-refundable.

If accepted, the applicant agrees to withdraw all applications submitted to other institutions, file no additional applications and enroll at Rhodes.
