I'm considering applying to Ithaca College and want to know if they have a rolling admissions process. It would be great to understand the timeframe to plan my application accordingly.
Ithaca College does not utilize a rolling admissions process. Instead, they offer a few different admissions plans with set deadlines. Here's a basic rundown:
- Early Decision (ED): The deadline for the ED plan is November 1st. This is a binding option, meaning if you get admitted to Ithaca under the ED plan, you are required to attend (unless you can prove that Ithaca's financial aid package is not sufficient for you to afford attendance).
- Regular Decision (RD): The deadline for regular decision is February 1st. This is a non-binding option implying that you can accept or decline the offer if admitted.
- Transfer applicants: The college has two deadlines: April 1st for the fall semester and November 15th for the spring semester.
Therefore, Ithaca's process doesn't provide rolling admissions. They have fixed deadlines and often release decisions in batches, not continuously as seen in a rolling admissions process. Make sure to submit all necessary parts of your application by the appropriate deadline for your desired admission plan.
