November 1: (Early Action) Students wishing to be reviewed early based on their transcripts through the junior year must take the SAT or ACT no later than October.  Application files must be complete by this date to be considered.  Nonbinding notification will be made on or before December 1.
 
After receiving an offer of admission, students will confirm their offer by submitting a $250 enrollment deposit and the Intent to Enroll form.  A Housing Preference form may be submitted once these are received. 
 
January 15: (Presidential Scholarship consideration) Students wishing to be considered for Presidential Scholarships must submit a complete application for admission and a Presidential Scholarship Application by this date. Admission notification will be by February 1, scholarship interviews will be held in February and March with scholarship award notification arriving by mid-April.
 
February 15: (Regular deadline) Students wanting to include their fall semester grades will receive notification by March 15. Applications received after February 15 will be considered on a space-available basis.
 
May 1: (National Candidates Reply Date) This is the date the Enrollment Deposit and Intent to Enroll Form are due for students who are admitted and decide to attend Abilene Christian University. However, as noted above, students may submit them at any time after admission has been granted, and we encourage students to do so as space fills quickly.
 
Requests for enrollment deposit refunds must be submitted in writing postmarked May 1 for consideration.
