The residents of our home state have always enjoyed a special relationship with the University of Delaware. That is why we offer admission to every Delawarean applicant who demonstrates the ability to succeed at the University.

The most important predictor of academic success is the rigor of your course selection in high school. Next are the grades that you earn in rigorous, academic classes. Knowing that, we have developed a path that will show Delaware residents how they can best prepare themselves for admission into the University of Delaware.

The requirements that follow are not our minimum requirements for admission. Rather, they are more stringent than the ones we set forth in our admissions publications. Rest assured that, even if you fall short of meeting them, you may still be admitted into the University of Delaware. However, if you want to be confident of being admitted, here is a plan you can follow that will lead to a place in our freshman class.

Specifically, we make this commitment:

• If you meet all of the requirements specified in the course requirement chart, then you can be confident of being admitted onto the Newark campus of the University of Delaware.

• Further, if you file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the University will meet your full, demonstrated financial need up to full, in-state tuition with a combination of grants, loans, and/or college work-study. The University will also attempt to meet your room and board costs as financial aid resources permit.
