First-year application deadlines
Rolling admission
Saint Martin's University practices rolling admissions,
meaning we accept applications and make admission decisions
year-round. While this means you can apply up until the first
day of class in any semester, we highly recommend you apply at
least 30 days in advance, especially if you need financial aid,
to insure sufficient time for processing both your application
for admission and your application for financial aid.
High school seniors can apply anytime during their senior
year. Most apply between December 1 and our priority deadline of
March 1.
Priority application deadline
The Priority Application Deadline for freshmen is
March 1. Applicants who complete their application by
this date receive first consideration for admission, housing,
scholarships, and other types of financial aid. Those who apply
later will be admitted on a space-available basis and should be
aware that some types of housing, Saint Martin’s scholarships,
and state and federal aid may be limited.
Applicants should also submit their
Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) by this deadline. Visit our
scholarship and financial aid section
for more information.
Enrollment deposit deadline
The Enrollment Deposit Deadline for those admitted prior to
April 1 is May 1. Admitted students should
submit their $325 Enrollment Deposit by this date to guarantee
their space in the class and a residence hall. The deposit can
be submitted at any time after admission but is non-refundable
after May 1.
Other important dates
- October 1 – the date we
typically mail the first admission decisions for
each fall.

can file a FAFSA for the following school year.
- February 20 – the date we
typically mail the first financial aid awards to
students admitted prior to February 1 and who
filed their FAFSA between January 1 and February
1.
