Does SLU offer mid-year admission to first-year students?
We typically offer January admission to a small group of students each year (15-20). While a handful of students apply directly for first-year admission at mid-year, the majority of our mid-year admits come from students waitlisted in our fall applicant pool. These students are offered January admission when we are unable to accommodate them in the fall. While we understand that fall is a preferred time for many students to start their college experience, January has proven to be a good option for many students. We offer a full orientation program to students who begin in January, and first-year students enroll in a First Year Seminar, the spring semester counterpart of the First Year Program.
