If you've decided early in your senior year that Knox is among your top college choices, apply early and receive the benefit of learning your admission and merit scholarship decision sooner. Or apply Regular Decision to receive a decision in mid-March.
| Apply By* | Decision By** | Enroll By | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Action I | Nov 1 | Dec 15 | May 1 |
| Early Action II | Dec 1 | Jan 15 | May 1 |
| Regular Decision | Jan 15 | March 15 | May 1 |
| Regular Decision (space available) | After Jan 15 | Rolling | May 1 |
The Early Action option is nonbinding, meaning you may apply to other colleges and still have until May 1 to make your final college selection. You can apply to as many colleges as you desire and wait to see what colleges admit you before making a final decision. Knox offers two rounds of early application consideration. Complete your application by November 1 (Early Action I), and we'll send an admission decision by mid-December. Apply Now!
Apply by the December 1 deadline (Early Action II) and receive an admission decision by mid-January. You still have until May 1 to reply to our offer. Apply Now!
Apply by January 15 and receive an admission decision by mid-March. You'll need to reply to our offer by May 1. Apply Now!
Applications received after January 15 will be reviewed on a rolling basis. You'll typically receive an admission decision by mid-March or within 2-4 weeks after submitting your application. You'll need to reply to our offer by May 1 (or within two weeks after being offered admission). Apply Now!
All application documents—including Auditions and Portfolios in the Arts—should be submitted or postmarked by the applicable deadline. Please contact your admission counselor or call the Office of Admissions if you have questions or have difficulty submitting any part of your application.
When you apply for admission, you'll also be considered for scholarships based on the information you provide in your application for admission and through an admission interview. If you're an artist, you can also provide portfolio submissions or complete auditions that will be evaluated by Knox faculty. When you receive an offer of admission, you’ll also learn about any scholarships that have been awarded to you. More information is available on our scholarship page.
