Significantly reduced application processing time

Application processing time has been reduced to 3 weeks!

Application processing time has been reduced to 3 weeks!

The University of Delaware Office of Admissions is excited to announce that it has significantly reduced processing time for undergraduate (Bachelor’s degree programs) applications!

Processing time for completed undergraduate application files is now only 3 weeks!

This represents a significant change in processing. For many years, the university’s average processing time was approximately 8 weeks. Due to recent changes in information systems and staffing, the Office of Admissions was able to achieve a major reduction in processing time.

IMPORTANT: This processing time is only valid for completed application files.

 

It is critical for applicants to understand that the “clock will start” on the 3-week processing time when:

  1. The application form and all supporting documents have been submitted; and
  2. The University of Delaware has sent an email to the applicant or agent acknowledging that the application is ready to be reviewed.

 

What do we consider to be a completed application file?

Remember, completed application files must include all of the following items:

If you have difficulty submitting documents, you may send them to admissions@udel.edu or CAPadmissions@udel.edu. Be sure to include the student’s ID number for the fastest processing.

Remember: Failure to submit all required documents will result in a delay of several weeks! Please submit all documents as quickly as possible so that the University can serve you in the 3-week time frame.

 

Apply now and avoid paying application fees!

 

Students who apply before March 1, 2016 will not have to pay the Undergraduate Application Fee ($75) or the ELI Application Fee ($100).

 

Conditional Admissions Program (CAP)

Remember, the University of Delaware does not require international students to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score if they plan to take English courses before they begin their full-time university coursework. This is called our Conditional Admissions Program (CAP).

Our Conditional Admissions Program provides excellent linguistic, cultural, and academic preparation for international students, giving them the tools that they need to be successful at the university level!

 

Please contact us at CAPadmissions@udel.edu for more information about the Conditional Admissions Program.
