Springfield College offers Early Decision 1 or 2, as well as rolling admissions, for any students who are interested in applying. We do require all of our physician assistant applicants to apply Early Decision. Early Decision is a binding agreement between the student, their parent or guardian, and their counselor that essentially means if you are accepted to Springfield College, you will submit your enrollment deposit to Springfield College and withdraw your applications to all other schools. Students should only apply as Early Decision to one school. Note: If you are not accepted to your intended major, or are accepted and your financial aid package makes it so that you would not be able to attend, you will not be required to uphold that Early Decision agreement.

We operate on a rolling admissions basis, which means that once we receive all of your application materials, your application moves into review and we do our best to get a decision to you as quickly as possible. Should you be accepted to Springfield College, we send notification to the staff in our Office of Financial Aid and they begin packaging your financial aid award—if your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has been received.

Early Decision 1 candidates are guaranteed an admissions decision by Feb. 1. Early Decision 2 candidates are guaranteed an admissions decision by March 1

Springfield College is test optional for all programs. If students submit test scores, they can be sent directly to our office at admissions@springfield.edu. Additional credentials, including letters of recommendation and any additional information can be emailed to admissions@springfield.edu.

We understand that many schools changed their grading system as a result of the pandemic and switched to remote learning. As a result, we will accept Pass, Credit, and Satisfactory grades for the semesters disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
