Early Action Program
Students who consider Sacred Heart University one of their top choices and wish to learn of their admission early in their senior year may apply through the Early Action program. Students who choose to apply for early action should feel they can present the strongest application possible by the end of the first term of their senior year. Prospective students wishing to apply for early action should reference the undergraduate admissions website for deadline information. Students who are accepted and who choose to enroll at the University are required to submit a nonrefundable acceptance deposit. The University observes a May 1 deposit deadline for all students accepted prior to April 15. Deposits received or postmarked after May 1 will be accepted on a space-available basis.
Students accepted to the University under the Early Decision program are required to submit a nonrefundable acceptance deposit. Those who apply for Student Financial Assistance will have the opportunity to preview a financial assistance package on advance of making the binding commitment with the enrollment deposit. To be considered for a financial assistance package in the early decision program, the CSS Profile must be completed. Students deferred through the Early Decision program will be considered through the rolling admissions process.
