Parents' Perspectives
Flyer parents share why the University of Dayton was the right choice for their students.
Parent Co-Pilot Webinars
Parents and guardians of undergraduate students, we invite you to join us live for Parent Co-Pilot events. In case you missed a live a event, recordings are available.
UD’s admission process is streamlined by design—from our free application to automatic scholarship consideration. Students who apply by Nov. 1 will receive their decision and merit scholarship letters as early as possible.
Test-optional admission gives students more control over their application. Your student can choose whether to include test scores, or emphasize their school record and other achievements.
We invite your family to join us for a Preview Day on Oct. 8, Oct. 22 or Nov. 5. Explore UD’s academic programs, meet faculty, staff and current students, tour campus and more.
Upcoming Events
We hope you and your student can join us for virtual and on-campus events this fall.
