Admissions Decision
Early Action Admission (First-Year Applicants for Fall Semester)
Johnson & Wales University offers Early Action Admission, a non-binding application program for students who view JWU as one of their top choice schools. Early Action Admission is a non-binding application program that allows applicants to learn sooner of their admission decision and JWU scholarships. Application and transcripts must be received by the November 17 deadline for Early Action I, by January 15 for Early Action II.
Regular Admissions
The Regular Admissions policy of the university makes it possible to notify students of the admissions decision, their acceptance or any additional conditions necessary for admission on a rolling basis, after all application materials have been received and reviewed.
Applications for the fall semester received after January 15 will be reviewed on a rolling basis after Early Action decisions. The final application deadline is July 15. The spring semester has a December 1 deadline. Admissions may choose to extend these deadlines.
Deposit
The $300 deposit for U.S. citizens or $500 for international applicants is payable upon acceptance to the university and is credited towards the student's tuition. The university observes the May 1 deposit deadline and encourages students to research all schools prior to placing a deposit. Deposits received after May 1 will be accepted on the basis of space availability. A student's account must be cleared by Student Financial Services by the payment deadline to receive a room assignment. To ensure consideration for on-campus housing, it is important to meet all deadlines throughout the enrollment process.
Deposits are nonrefundable with the exception of international applicants who have their visa denied and request a deposit refund within two months of the visa denial. Requests for a deposit refund must include uploading a copy of the visa interview confirmation form and the visa denial letter issued at the time of the visa interview.
* The university may revoke any student’s acceptance or subsequent enrollment at any time if any information provided by the student is false, misleading or incomplete, or if the university learns of any past, present or future misconduct by the student that, in the university's sole judgment, would affect the student’s ability to represent and uphold the standards of the university.
