Applying for Admission

1. Communicate with the Office of Admissions for necessary forms.
2. File the completed application with the required $50 application fee (nonrefundable) at the Office of Admissions. It should not be sent to any person other than the director of admissions. All credentials should be mailed to: Springfield College, Office of Admissions, 263 Alden Street, Springfield, MA 01109-3797.
3. All other necessary forms, including a secondary school report form for distribution and completion, are included in the application packet provided in the back of the Colleges Undergraduate Admissions Viewbook. Candidates should follow all instructions carefully, accurately, and completely. Mistakes, incomplete information, or illegible entries all serve to delay the final decision. Additional application packets can be obtained by contacting the Springfield College Office of Admissions by phone at (413) 748-3136 or (800) 343-1257; by e-mail at admissions@spfldcol.edu; or by writing to Springfield College, Office of Admissions, 263 Alden Street, Springfield, MA 01109-3797.
4. The College encourages as many candidates as possible to visit the campus. However, students may arrange for an interview in their own community or nearby area. Springfield College is fortunate to have active, specially trained alumni who serve as interviewers in their local communities. The candidate should contact the Office of Admissions for an off-campus interview if this is preferable.

Appointments for on-campus interviews can be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Candidates should either write or call for an appointment. The Office of Admissions is open on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for scheduled interviews from October to March. General information sessions for students and parents take place in the Office of Admissions at 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. each Saturday from October to mid-March. Due to a limited number of available interviews on Saturday mornings, candidates should request an appointment in advance of their visit.

Arrangements should be made to take the SAT or the ACT. During the 2003-2004 academic year, the SAT will be given on the following dates (among others):

October 11, 2003 November 1, 2003 December 6, 2003 January 24, 2004

Students who take the ACT should check with their secondary school guidance counselor for test dates.
