Early Decision

If you apply for early decision, and are accepted to Springfield College, and receive a favorable financial aid award (if qualified), we expect you to withdraw applications to all other institutions. If you are not admitted under early decision, your credentials will be kept and updated for a decision in the normal process. The timetable for early decision is as follows.
