Early Decision
For students who realize that Sewanee is not only a great college choice, but the only college choice for them, there’s no better option than Early Decision. By applying Early Decision, a student will submit an Early Decision Agreement stating they will withdraw all applications from other schools after confirming an enrollment decision to Sewanee.
Early Action
There are plenty of students who are over-the-moon about Sewanee but feel more comfortable keeping their options open. Why wait?
Regular Decision
For students who need just a little bit more time, or are maybe waiting on admission decisions from other schools, the Regular Decision deadline is your last chance to apply to Sewanee.
Transfer

For students interested applying for transfer for a January start, the priority deadline is Nov. 1. For students interested applying for transfer for an August start, the priority deadline is June 1.
