Application Materials:

  • Do you offer fee waivers? If so, how do I get one?

    We don't want application fees to prevent anyone from applying to 澳门娱乐场. If you're facing financial hardship, please indicate that you qualify for a fee waiver in the 'Profile' area of the Common Application.

    Additionally, 澳门娱乐场 proudly participates in the Colorado Department of Higher Education's annual . Please check our website and your email inbox this fall for this year's application fee waiver code.

  • How do I know if I am a first-year or transfer student?

    If you have completed any college-level coursework through a community college or another university BEFORE your high school graduation - for example, through dual enrollment or concurrent enrollment - we still consider you a first-year applicant.

    If you have taken college-level coursework or have served in the military AFTER completing high school (after your date of graduation), then we encourage you to apply to 澳门娱乐场 as a transfer applicant.

  • Which decision type/deadline should I pick?

    For first-year applicants, 澳门娱乐场 offers the following application deadlines:

    • November 1 for Early Decision I and Early Action
    • January 15 for Early Decision II and Regular Decision

    听

    You might choose to apply in our non-binding Early Action round by November 1 to get an admission decision sooner or to have more time to consider your options before committing to one university. Students who apply Early Action typically receive an admission decision by mid-December.

    You might choose to apply in our non-binding Regular Decision round by January 15 to include an additional term of grades on your transcripts or to have more time to get your application and materials ready. Students who apply Regular Decision typically receive an admission decision by mid-March.

    You might choose to apply Early Decision I or II if 澳门娱乐场 is your first choice and you are committed to attending our school. Early Decision is a binding application option and students can apply Early Decision at either deadline. Applying Early Decision has numerous benefits, including the following:

    • Students admitted during Early Decision rounds of admission receive an additional $5,000 annual merit aid award (for up to four years).
    • Top academic performers will have their full demonstrated financial need met.
    • Early-decision applications enjoy stronger consideration for admission and benefit from earlier admission and financial aid notifications.

    听

    Please Note: Athletes receiving athletic aid and music majors are welcome to apply for Early Decision but are not eligible for the financial incentives. International students are eligible for additional merit aid but not for need-based aid.

  • What does it mean to say that Early Decision is a "binding agreement"?

    Early Decision听is a binding agreement between you and the 澳门娱乐场, meaning you must enroll at 澳门娱乐场 if you are admitted. You, your parent or guardian, and your high school counselor must all agree to this on the Early Decision form. Given the binding nature of the agreement, students may only apply Early Decision to one school. If accepted to 澳门娱乐场 via Early Decision I or Early Decision II, you must withdraw your applications from other institutions.

    However, Early Action and Regular Decision are nonbinding application options, so students can hear back from all schools they applied to and compare options.

  • What happens if I apply Early Decision?

    If you apply Early Decision and are accepted, then congratulations and welcome to 澳门娱乐场!听

    Students who apply Early Decision I can expect an admission decision by early December and students who apply Early Decision II can expect an admission decision by early February. In your official decision letter, you will be given a deadline to commit to 澳门娱乐场 and to submit your $500 non-refundable enrollment deposit. Your official decision letter will also include the additional $5,000 annual merit aid for applying Early Decision.

    If you applied to other colleges or universities but are admitted via Early Decision to 澳门娱乐场, you will need to withdraw your applications from other schools. For a full explanation of what 鈥渂inding agreement鈥 means, please see the answer above.

  • What is considered an official transcript?

    For a transcript to be considered 'official' it must be submitted via a secure electronic transcript sending听service such as the Common App, Naviance, Parchment, or Scoir, or by mail in a school sealed envelope. We do not accept transcripts directly from students, and transcripts sent as email attachments are not considered official. If you're not sure about the distinction between an 'unofficial' or 'official' transcript, contact your school counselor or registrar office.

  • Do you accept unofficial transcripts?

    No, we do not accept unofficial transcripts in place of official transcripts.听

    If your school is unable to send an official transcript to 澳门娱乐场, please contact Undergraduate Admission Enrollment Services to discuss possible options at听admission@du.edu or 303-871-2036 (select option 4).听

    Admission offers are contingent upon our office鈥檚 receipt of all final official transcript(s).

  • How do I send my transcript to you?

    Transcripts from schools within the United States must be submitted via a secure electronic transcript sending service (using Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse, for example) or by mail in a school-sealed envelope. We do not accept transcripts directly from students. Transcripts sent via email, regardless of sender, are not official.*听

    Your school can mail official transcripts to this address:

    澳门娱乐场听

    2197 South University Boulevard

    Denver, CO 80208-9401

    *We can make exceptions for schools outside of the U.S. that do not have access to secure electronic sending services or face challenges in mailing transcripts to other countries.

  • If I have attended multiple high schools and/or community colleges or universities, do I need to submit transcripts for all of them?

    First-Year Applicants

    College transcripts: Most students currently in high school do not need to submit official college transcripts for an admission decision. Dual/concurrent enrollment grades are sometimes listed on the high school transcript and are taken into consideration during application review. If college level dual/concurrent enrollment grades are not shown on a high school transcript, we can accept an unofficial college transcript during the application review process. Homeschooled students are required to send official college transcripts for any dual/concurrent enrollment work for decision purposes.

    Additional High School Transcripts: If the high school a student is currently attending sends an official transcript that shows a complete record of previous grades at other schools, the high school transcript requirement is fulfilled. If grades from other schools are not listed (terms look incomplete or just show 鈥淧ass"), we will need the transcripts from the other schools that show all grades.

    听

    Transfer Applicants

    College transcripts: We require official college/university transcripts from every institution attended for an admission decision.

    High School Transcripts: We only need a final official transcript showing 9th-12th grades and graduation date for applicants who have completed less than 30 semester hours of college work post high school graduation.

  • Why do you require a counselor recommendation?

    We require a counselor recommendation because counselors provide information around high school demographics, curricular offerings, grading systems, school policies, and more. This information gives important context to our admission committee as they review your application, academic record, and supporting materials.

    Your counselor will need to submit either the Common Application Secondary School Report, the Common Application Counselor Recommendation form, or a personal letter.

  • My school is huge, and I don鈥檛 know my counselor very well. Can someone else write my recommendation?

    澳门娱乐场 requires a counselor recommendation, but the counselor recommendation is not always a personal recommendation about a student; oftentimes, it is information about your schools鈥 demographics, curricular offerings, grading systems, policies, and more. So your counselor will need to submit either the Common Application Secondary School Report, the Common Application Counselor Recommendation form, or a personal letter.

    You're welcome to submit additional recommendations from those who may know you better, including letters from teachers, coaches, or mentors. However, these letters are optional.

    Please see the question and full response above about why 澳门娱乐场 requires a counselor recommendation.

  • Does my counselor need to write a full letter?

    In the Common Application, your counselor can choose to submit either the Common Application Secondary School Report, the Common Application Counselor Recommendation form, or a personal letter.

  • I sent my ACT/SAT test scores to the 澳门娱乐场. Why are they still showing as missing?

    When you order test scores from the testing center, it can take days or weeks for 澳门娱乐场 to receive your scores. Test scores are usually sent in batches (a couple times a week in the fall) to each school. Once a school receives the batch, it can take a few days to match up the scores with the student application. Test scores do not听need to be received by the posted application deadline of November 1 or January 15. Students have an extra fourteen days after the application deadline to submit all additional documents (including test scores) and complete their application package for review.

    Be sure to visit your Testing Center Account to check on your order status and see when your scores were sent to 澳门娱乐场. If you can provide the date your test score was sent to the university, we can check for your name in those batch uploads. In some cases, the name you provided to ACT/SAT could be different from the name provided on your Common Application (ex: missing a middle name or initial, using a preferred name instead of your given name, partial hyphenated last names, or a typo when entered). If your scores do not appear as received and you think any of these circumstances apply to you, please reach out to听admission@du.edu.

    If your applicant portal displays your test scores as incomplete or missing one week after the application deadline, contact our office at听admission@du.edu or 303-871-2036 (select option 4).

  • How do I submit my ACT/SAT test scores?

    Test scores are sent to us from the testing centers. We do not accept any self-reported test scores entered onto your Common App.

    Log in to your SAT or ACT account, click on X, and use the codes below to send your scores to the 澳门娱乐场:

    1) SAT Code: 4842

    2) ACT Code: 0534

  • Does 澳门娱乐场 accept self-reported ACT/SAT Test scores?

    No, self-reported test scores entered on the Common Application will not fulfill the requirement and are not used for admission/merit level consideration.听

    If the cost of ordering official test scores from the testing agency is a barrier, you can upload your ACT and/or SAT Student Score Report into your application status page. To do so,听听to choose the "Student Submitted Test Score" material type and then upload the Student Score Report PDF from your testing agency account. This document must show your full name and all test components with their exam dates to fulfill the test scores requirement and complete your application.

  • Is 澳门娱乐场 a test-optional institution?

    Yes, the 澳门娱乐场 has been test-optional since 2019. Test scores are not required to be considered for admission or for our merit scholarships.

    To waive the test score requirement, you must indicate on your application that you do not want 澳门娱乐场 to consider test scores when reviewing your听application. If you don鈥檛 let us know on your application that you wish to apply test-optional, then your application will be considered incomplete without test scores.

    If you indicate on your application that you do want 澳门娱乐场 to consider your test scores during the application review process, we can either use your scores from one test date or听"super score", which means we can combine your highest section scores from different test dates (if you've taken either test more than once).

  • How do I change my application to test-optional?

    If you have already submitted your Common Application and would like to change your application to test-optional, please听 and scroll down to the Test-Optional area and complete the short form linked there.听
