Freshmen Application Deadlines

If you’re thinking about applying to High Point University and you are a high school senior (Class of 2012), the University offers three different application plans.

Early Decision

For those applicants who consider High Point University their number one college choice, we offer our Early Decision plan. It is a binding agreement in which, if admitted, you agree to withdraw all other college applications and enroll at High Point University for the fall of 2013. Early Decision students have first priority in housing selection and in class registration event sign-up.

Deadline: November 1, 2012

Deadline: November 8, 2012
Admissions Response: December 17, 2012

Early Decision II

For those applicants who consider High Point University their number one college choice, we offer our Early Decision plan. Early Decision II is for students who missed the initial Early Decision deadline. Early Decision II is a binding agreement that, if admitted, you will withdraw all other college applications and enroll at High Point University. Early Decision II students have priority over Early Action and Regular Decision students in housing selection and in class registration event sign-up.
