We’ve begun sending acceptance letters — including merit scholarship awards — to students who applied before our Nov. 1 early action deadline. We’ll continue sending decisions on a rolling basis, so please be sure to continue sending transcripts for students who apply to UD.

If your students have questions about their next steps after admission, please share our admitted student webpage to help answer their questions.

Mission and Belonging link-arrow link-arrow

At the University of Dayton, our Marianist tradition of educating the whole person supports the intellectual, spiritual and personal growth of students from all backgrounds and faith traditions — including those from historically underrepresented groups and those who identify as LGBTQ+.

Through holistic support services, we ensure every student is not only prepared to succeed at UD and beyond, but also knows they are welcomed, valued and that they belong on our campus.

As a top-tier Catholic research university, UD provides every student with hands-on learning in the real world. Our more than 80 undergraduate academic programs and high-impact experiential learning opportunities prepare students to learn, lead, serve — and soar. The Princeton Review highlights a few other reasons why more than 7,700 undergraduates call UD’s campus home.
