Admission Guide

Regis University uses a rolling admissions process, so you can apply throughout the year without strict deadlines, though applying earlier gives you better access to housing and financial aid. Submit your application through the Common Application along with your high school transcript, one letter of recommendation, and a personal statement.

The nursing program requires additional prerequisites and has limited spots, making it significantly more competitive than general admission. You'll need specific science courses completed before starting the program, and direct admission as a freshman isn't guaranteed. The physical therapy doctoral program also maintains higher admission standards and requires separate application materials.

Regis doesn't require standardized test scores, making it test-optional for all programs. If you submit SAT or ACT scores, they can help with merit scholarship consideration, but your transcript and essays carry more weight in the admission decision.

Housing fills up quickly despite the rolling admissions policy. Submit your housing application and deposit as soon as you're accepted to secure a spot in the residence halls. The campus requires all first-year students to live on campus unless you're commuting from a parent's home within 30 miles.

New students attend a two-day orientation program called RU Ready before classes start. You'll register for courses, meet with your academic advisor, and complete placement assessments during this time. Transfer students have a separate one-day orientation program tailored to their needs.

Financial aid applications require the FAFSA, and Regis automatically considers you for merit scholarships when you apply for admission. The school offers payment plans if you need to spread tuition costs across the semester.
