Application Plans and Deadlines

Rolling Admissions
With the exception of our on-campus Nursing and Veterinary Science Technology programs, the application process at SUNY Delhi is based on a rolling admission plan wherein we will accept applications until the program has reached its acceptance or enrollment limit. The Admissions staff will start its 2021-22 application review October 1, 2021.

Nursing and Veterinary Science Technology Admissions (On-Campus Programs)

Please Note: New students who enter SUNY Delhi in a spring semester with the intention of internally transferring into a Nursing or Veterinary Science Technology program must be aware that current, matriculated SUNY Delhi students can only apply to internally transfer in a Nursing or Veterinary Science Technology program at the end of the fall semester for admission for the following fall semester. All transfer students with this intention are highly encouraged to apply directly to a Nursing or Veterinary Science Technology program with a fall semester starting point.

Financial Evaluation Process

The financial evaluation process relates to issuance of the Form 1-20, which occurs after the student has been accepted. Please note that admission decisions are not based upon immigration status. Once you are accepted, you will need a Form I-20 in order to obtain an F-1 Student Visa. In order for SUNY Delhi to issue a Form I-20 after acceptance, a tuition and housing deposit of $150 U.S. dollars must be paid to the college.

We require the following documents for the financial evaluation process. These documents must be dated nine months or fewer prior to the date of the semester you are attending and can be sent directly to the Enrollment Services Office at SUNY Delhi:

• International Student Financial Statement (FSA-4) (pdf)
• An official bank statement proving funding for one full academic year. The bank statement must come from the student, their parent(s), or a sponsor. The balance must be converted to U.S. dollars.
