Freshman Deadlines
Fall Early Action Deadline* November 15
Fall Rolling Admission Deadline February 1
Spring Rolling Admission Deadline December 1
Summer Rolling Admission Deadline** February 1
*Complete applications (all required materials received by the deadline) will receive priority
consideration for direct entry to academic programs, merit scholarship programs and University

**In most cases, freshmen applying from high school will not be considered for direct admission to
the summer term. Please note that entering in summer prevents freshmen from fully participating
in Bobcat Student Orientation, disqualifes them from consideration for most scholarships and may
afect the fnancial aid award ofer.
Admissions Tests
Ohio University has adopted a test-optional pathway for admission to the
Athens campus for freshman applicants. Freshman applicants may opt to
submit ACT or SAT scores or they may apply without submitting test scores.
Students should indicate whether or not they plan to apply test-optional in the
“standardized tests” section of the application.
Undergraduate Admissions takes a holistic approach to reviewing every
application for admission, and applying test-optional will not have a negative
impact on students’ admission decision. Test-optional students are eligible
to be considered for all University benefts, including merit scholarships,
need-based fnancial assistance and honors and scholars programs. To learn
more about OHIO’s test optional pathway, visit ohio.edu/admissions/apply/
test-optional.
For students who choose to submit test scores, the composite score of the
ACT or the combined math and evidence-based reading and writing scores on
the SAT will be considered. Undergraduate Admissions will consider both new
and old SAT scores. While we continue to superscore (combine subscores from
multiple test dates) across the same version of the SAT, we will not superscore
between the new SAT and old SAT. ACT writing and SAT essay scores are not
considered in the review process for scholarships. Ohio University requires that
scores be sent directly from the testing agency. Ohio University’s ACT code is
3314, and our SAT code is 1593.

Honors Tutorial College

The Honors Tutorial College (HTC) ofers a nationally distinctive undergraduate education based on the British tutorial model developed at Oxford and Cambridge
universities. Tutorials consist of courses taught either one-on-one with a student and a professor or a very small seminar consisting of several HTC students and a professor.
In general, HTC students take one tutorial per academic semester along with a mix of traditional courses. An education grounded in this approach provides for exceptional
faculty mentoring, heightened intellectual development and experiential learning opportunities. Success in a tutorial program also requires a high degree of maturity, self-
motivation and curiosity. To learn more about HTC, applicants should visit ohio.edu/honors/tutorial-college.

Application Process
HTC has an application submission deadline of November 15, 2022, for all materials. On the Ohio University application form, be sure to check the box indicating that you are
applying to the Honors Tutorial College and use the major codes specifcally designated for HTC degree programs. The college is highly selective, typically enrolling frewer
than 100 students each year across all of its programs of study. For best consideration, applicants should follow the honors and scholars programs application instructions
above and answer the following two HTC questions. Recommended length is 500 words each.

HTC Question 1: Please explain why you have chosen your particular program of study.

HTC Question 2: We expect that one reason you seek a tutorial education is for the one-on-one interaction with faculty, but other than that, what interests you about
pursuing a tutorial-based undergraduate education? What aspects of your education and life experience have prepared you for a tutorial education with its emphasis
on research and creative activity?

Complete applications received by November 15 will be reviewed by Undergraduate Admissions and HTC to determine whether the application will be forwarded to the
Director(s) of Studies (faculty members responsible for administering each program of study) for further review. After November 15, 2022, Directors of Studies will select
candidates for required interviews. Because of the nature of a tutorial education, an interview with Directors of Studies and faculty tutors is required. Interviewees who are
not ofered admission to an HTC program will automatically be reviewed for admission to the appropriate OHIO college.
