Special circumstances that may have prevented presentation of competitive credentials will also be reviewed by the committee. Students with certain handicapping conditions and ethnic minorities who are the target of extraordinary recruitment efforts may find this review process a viable avenue for admission. Applicants are strongly encouraged to indicate a choice of major on the application form. This information will be used for planning purposes only, since application to a particular academic department as a major generally occurs during a student's sophomore year at the University. The Departments of Architecture, Art, Music, and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, however, review credentials at the time of initial application to the University, and may offer direct admission to their programs.
Music requires an audition, and art requires a portfolio.
Applicants seeking entry for a fall term should submit completed applications as early as possible in the preceding fall. The admissions committee will begin to review completed applications and supportive credentials in January and issue notification of decisions shortly thereafter. Information about applying and admission criteria may be obtained from the Office of Admissions. This information comes directly from the 1994-95 Undergraduate Catalog with permission.
