The University's two early admission plans allow high-achieving students to receive their admission decision early in the admissions process. If the University of Austin is among your top choices, we highly encourage you to apply under one of these plans. Please note the following details before you apply under either plan.

• Our Early Decision plan is binding. As an Early Decision applicant, you may apply to other colleges/universities while we review your application, but you may only apply Early Decision to the University of Austin. If you are offered admission as an Early Decision applicant, you must withdraw all other college applications. However, if you are seeking financial aid, you need not withdraw other applications until you have received notification about financial aid.

• Our Early Action plan is non-binding. You do not have to commit to the University of Austin upon receipt of your decision. Applicants have until May 1 to make their final decision.

• The Office of Admissions must receive all required application components by the applicable deadline for you to qualify under either early admission plan. Failure to do so shall result in your application being rolled over for consideration into a regular decision plan and payment of the applicable application fee.
• Once you have received an early admission plan decision, that is the final decision. There is no appeal process. Thus, we highly encourage applicants to apply when they believe their application would be most competitive.
• Rather than receive a decision, some early admission plan applicants may have their application rolled into the Regular Decision I pool. If this is the case, the applicant will be reconsidered and no additional application fee will be owed.
