By applying Early Decision, a student will submit an Early Decision Agreement stating they will withdraw all other college applications if admitted to Sewanee.
Early Action
There are plenty of students who are over-the-moon about Sewanee but feel more comfortable keeping their options open. For those students, Early Action is a great option.
Regular Decision
The Regular Decision deadline is a student's last chance to apply to Sewanee and is a good option for students who need a little bit more time to complete their application.

Transfer applicants are students who are applying to Sewanee after enrolling at another college or university. Sewanee enrolls transfer students twice a year. For students interested applying for spring transfer, the priority deadline is Nov. 1. For students interested applying for fall transfer, the priority deadline is June 1.
