Early Decision Benefits
Early Decision is a fantastic opportunity for those of you who are passionate about Stetson University and are certain you want to join us in the fall. It comes with several unique advantages that we believe you should carefully consider. If you're exploring other universities or want to compare financial aid offers, you might want to apply Early Action instead. Here are the benefits you could enjoy if you choose Early Decision:
- Early Response - You'll receive your acceptance decision before all other applicants.
- Early Registration - You'll get priority registration for Fall 2025 classes. This means you can secure your class schedule ahead of others.
- Pick Your Own Room - You'll be able to select your room early during housing selection in April.
- Financial Aid - You'll receive priority consideration for academic scholarships and financial aid.
- Free Parking - We'll waive your parking permit fee for your first year, saving you money and hassle.
- Peace of Mind - By applying Early Decision, you won't have to compete with as many students for a spot in our first-year class, easing your stress and uncertainty.
If you choose to apply under Stetson's Early Decision Program, you'll complete an agreement involving you, your family, and your guidance counselor. It's important to review the Early Decision stipulations carefully and talk with your admission recruiter about why applying early can give you an edge.
If admitted, you'll need to commit to Stetson University and submit your Enrollment Deposit by January 15.
