Undergraduate Degree Program
Dominican University of California welcomes applications from all students without regard to race, age, religion, color, gender, ethnicity, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation. Each candidate for admission is given individual consideration and is evaluated on the basis of a variety of factors, including but not limited to, past scholastic performance, present motivation, and intellectual potential as indicated by all application materials submitted. The University seeks to enroll students who will take full advantage of the academic and extracurricular opportunities available.
Dominican University of California has rolling admission for most undergraduate programs. However, for priority consideration, applications for the Fall semester should be received by February 1 and for the Spring semester by November 1 (September 1 for Nursing). Decisions are generally made within two weeks after all application materials have been received. An admissions counselor appointment is recommended but not required. The admissions counselor appointment provides the opportunity for the applicant and the University to become better acquainted with each other.
Continued enrollment at the University is contingent upon sustained academic performance and receipt of a final transcript(s). Dominican reserves the right to deny registration for future terms if the final transcript changes admission eligibility or if any application materials are found to be false or misrepresented. Offers of admission are valid for one semester, although 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. A new application is not required and the application fee will be waived. Merit scholarships are not deferrable; scholarship eligibility will be re-determined at the point of re-admission.
Students admitted to the Nursing and Pre-Occupational Therapy majors must meet progression requirements overseen by the Department of Nursing or Occupational Therapy. For information on Nursing or Occupational Therapy progression requirements, please refer to the respective sections of this catalog.
