Susquehanna has a rolling admissions policy. You can submit an application any time after your junior year in high school. March 1 is the preferred deadline for filing Regular Decision applications.

The earlier you complete your application, the earlier you will hear back from us. We begin notifying Regular Decision applicants in mid-January.

If you are accepted to Susquehanna, you must notify us of your decision by May 1. A non-refundable enrollment deposit of $400 is required at that time. Transfer students and successful Early Decision candidates are given separate reply dates in their letters of admission.
