Undergraduate Application Types

Stetson offers several application options to fit your college search timeline and level of commitment. Explore each plan to find the one that works best for you.

Early Decision

Deadline: November 1

If Stetson is your top choice, Early Decision is the way to go! This binding option shows your strong commitment to becoming a Hatter. If admitted, you’ll submit your Enrollment Deposit by January 15 and withdraw all other college applications. You may still apply to non-restrictive Early Action programs at other schools, but you cannot apply to other binding Early Decision programs.

Apply Early Decision Benefits

Early Action

Deadline: November 15

If you want to apply early and receive an admissions decision early without committing to a specific college, Early Action is ideal for you. As an Early Action applicant, you are not bound to attend if admitted. This option allows you to compare admissions offers and financial aid packages from multiple colleges before making your final decision. Early Action is a great choice if you want more flexibility compared to the Early Decision plan.

Regular Admission

If you are just learning about Stetson and need more time to make your decision, Regular Admission is the perfect option for you. Our Regular Admission priority deadline offers a standard non-binding application plan. As a Regular Decision applicant, you are not obligated to attend if admitted, giving you the freedom to explore all your options.
