Matriculation Status

Students are admitted to the University based upon a set of admission and graduation requirements determined by University catalog policies in effect at the time the student matriculates (initial enrollment) at Dominican. Admitted students who do not matriculate for the semester indicated in their admission acceptance letter may defer their matriculation, thus maintaining their admission status based; see below for guidelines.

Admission Deferral: Undergraduate

Undergraduate students who are admitted to the University who do not matriculate in the semester indicated in their admission acceptance letter, may defer their admission for one academic semester. Merit scholarships are not deferrable; scholarship eligibility will be re-determined at the point of re-admission. A new application is not required.

Continuous Enrollment Required to Maintain Matriculation Status

Students must be enrolled every Fall and Spring from matriculation to graduation to retain the admission and graduation requirements in effect at the time of their initial registration to Dominican. If continuous enrollment is not maintained, the student will be required to apply for re-enrollment at the University. Admissions and graduation requirements in effect at the time of the re-admission will be required.
