GENERAL ADMISSION POLICIES AND PRIORITY DEADLINES

Catawba College is a rolling admission institution meaning that applications are evaluated as they are received and completed versus waiting to evaluate after a hard deadline. Applications are reviewed as they are received and admission decisions for most programs are typically made within three weeks of receiving a completed application. Decisions on graduate program applications for a respective entry term will be made throughout the calendar year up until the application final submissions deadline.

 Below are the priority and final submissions deadlines for each respective entry term: 

NOTIFICATION OF ADMISSION

Applicants are notified of their admission decision via their application status portal (admissions.catawba.edu/apply) typically within three weeks of submitting a completed application for review.

Enrollment Deposits can be paid online within the applicant’s application status portal (admissions.catawba.edu/apply). Enrollment deposits for Graduate Programs are non-refundable and secure an admitted student’s place in their respective/desired entry term. The deposit is credited to the student’s account in the College Finance Office and is deducted from the first payment of fees.

 Information for Students with Documented Disabilities

             As noted in our non-discrimination policy, Catawba College does not discriminate against qualified individuals who have disabilities. Moreover, as required by law, Catawba will provide reasonable accommodations to those students with documented disabilities who have met the academic standards for admission.

             Students seeking accommodations should contact the Office of Academic AccessAbility. The student must submit a disclosure form and a recent report (psychoeducational, medical documentation, etc.) that is less than three years old from a qualified professional evaluator documenting the disability and their recommendations regarding appropriate accommodations.
