Regular Decision
We have ongoing enrollment available right now! You can apply today for Fall 2021. Those who apply get immediate consideration for scholarships, so it's a smart idea to get started. As a reminder, the personal statement included in the application is not required to submit the application to us; you can always submit that portion at a later date if you desire.
You'll want to make sure you get us an official transcript as soon as you can, too.
Early Decision
York College is now accepting Early Decision applications for fall 2021. By enrolling at York College through Early Decision, you're committing to York College. In return, York College is committing to you. That commitment includes:
- Early access to financial aid packages, including first review for scholarships.
- Early access to guaranteed and priority housing.
- Early access to course registration.
- Locked-in seat for the upcoming school year, which helps you avoid waitlists.
- A special reception during Accepted Student Day.
- Peace of mind that comes with certainty in your college selection.
Early Decision gives first-year students a chance to advance to the front of the line for enrollment consideration and financial aid awards. Certain majors have limited seating, and applicants interested in these programs will benefit most by applying Early Decision:
- Nursing*: Both the Fall Clinical and Spring Clinical programs.
- Engineering: Civil, Computer, Electrical, and Mechanical*
- Computer Science
- Health Professions: Medical Laboratory Science, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Pre-Health Professions, Pre-Med, Radiography*, and Respiratory Care*
Students applying for these majors will have to supply a standardized test. In special cases, applicants will be reviewed by the department without test scores.
(*) These programs are competitive and can accept only a limited number of students.
For the 2020-2021 academic year, York will waive the standardized test requirement if the following materials are received:
- Official high school transcripts
- Personal statement
- Counselor recommendation
- Receipt of the electronic Early Decision agreement
- At least one teacher recommendation from the Junior or Senior year**
- A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher (4-point scale) in core, academic classes***
(**) Recommendations from English, math, science, foreign language, or history instructors are preferable.
(***) Students who have a grade point average below a 3.0 will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Some students may be asked to participate in an evaluative admission interview with the Director of Admission.
The Early Decision application deadline is November 1, 2020.
