Office of Admissions and Financial Aid
All students interested in attending the School of Arts and Sciences as undergraduates must apply through the University’s Office of Admissions and Financial Aid (OAFA). OAFA processes applications from both new students who want to enroll as freshmen, and from current undergraduates at other colleges or universities who want to transfer to Arts and Sciences.
While there is no specific deadline for applications, slots fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Space varies, so apply early!
OAFA also arranges loans, grants, scholarships, and other financial assistance for students who qualify. Filing deadlines exist for many types of financial aid, so if you think you will need financial aid, please contact OAFA as soon as possible.
OAFA hosts a special Web page for Parents of Prospective Freshmen.
