Applying as a non-matriculated studentFirst-year students have two deadlines to apply: an early action and a regular decision deadline. You’ll apply as a pre-major student and pick your major after you enroll.

Being part of the Husky Promise made me feel like I needed to work hard because I’m thankful to be part of this and to receive this financial aid. l was so determined to come regardless. I just knew it would work out somehow. Because of the Husky Promise, I am here.
