First-year Application & Deadlines

You are invited to apply for admission to Rose-Hulman in the fall prior to the year you wish to be admitted - for incoming first-year students, that's the fall of your senior year.

A completed application for admission should include:

  • Submitted application
  • High school transcript
  • Letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor or principal (homeschooled students must have a recommendation from someone other than the parent)
  • A non-refundable application fee of $60 or a qualified fee waiver
  • International applicants must also supply an affidavit of financial support and official TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo scores.

Applicants can choose to apply Early Action (non-binding) or Regular Decision. If you apply Early Action and you do not have all application materials in by the deadline, your application will be moved to Regular Decision.

  • August 1-Feb 1: Applications Accepted
  • November 1: Early Action Deadline
  • December 15: Early Action Admission Decisions
  • February 1: Regular Decision Deadline
  • March 15: Regular Decision Admission Decisions
  • May 1: Enrollment Deposit Due

If accepted, you'll be asked to send a non-refundable enrollment deposit by May 1. It saves your spot in the freshman class and is credited towards your tuition and fees. The housing application will be sent to you after the May 1 deadline.

Once admitted and prior to registration, an official copy of your high school transcript with graduation date must be received by the Office of Admissions.

SAT/ACT Test Response

Because of health concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, Rose-Hulman has implemented an exception to our application for admission requirement of a standardized test score from either the ACT or SAT.
