Q: Will Utica University be open for on-campus classes for the fall semester?
Utica University implemented a comprehensive plan to keep our campus community safe while enabling our students to enjoy as many benefits of Utica's on-campus experience as possible. Because of the success of this plan (for details, watch this video), we have been able to safely maintain campus-based instruction consistently since the start of the 2020-21 academic year and into 2021-22. We are confident that this experience will enable us to continue delivering on-campus classes into the future.
Q: Who is my student's Admissions Counselor?
Visit our counselor page to find your student's Utica University admissions counselor. Students can reach out to their counselor to arrange for in-person visits (when these are permitted) or virtual visits.
Q: How is Utica University handling AP Credit?
For students who:
- are planning to enroll at Utica in 2022
- have been enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses this term, and
- will be unable to take the exams or taking a different form of exam
... Utica will continue its current process of awarding credit and course placement, using the modified results and reporting that the testing agencies have announced. For more information, visit the College Board AP Coronavirus Update page:
Q: How do applicants send electronic documents to Utica University?
- Students that apply via Common Application: Electronic documents can be sent through Common App or emailed to admiss@utica.edu
- Students that apply with the Utica University Application: Electronic documents can be emailed to the admissions office at admiss@utica.edu
Q: Are there any COVID restrictions on campus visits?
We are open! Aside from minor safety precautions on campus (see our Fully Forward page), there are no restrictions. We encourage students to visit Utica University so that they can meet current students and faculty, tour campus, and get their questions answered. Go to our visit page to sign up for a campus event or set up a personal visit.
Virtual Tour
You can also opt for our Virtual Campus Tour:
We also offer the opportunity for students to take the virtual tour along with a current Utica University student, who will :
- describe buildings and other features on the tour
- talk about events and activities on campus
- share their personal experiences at Utica, and
- answer your questions.
To arrange a personalized virtual tour experience, please contact the admissions office at 315-792-3006 or admiss@utica.edu
Q: Can my students have an admissions interview?
Yes! We offer both in-person and virtual interview options. Please reach out to the admissions office at 315-792-3006 or admiss@utica.edu or contact your admissions counselor directly to schedule an interview.
Q: What process will you have for high school visits or information sessions if high schools are not allowing visitors once they reopen?
We plan to make some location-based information sessions and one-on-one meetings available for students who are unable to meet with us at their school. Please check the events calendar for information and locations.
Q: How are admissions processes changing for the students graduating in 2022?
Utica University will still offer Early Decision, Early Action and Rolling Admissions. We have had a test optional policy for many years, but based on the recent issues with SAT and ACT testing availability, we are extending the test optional policy to also apply to Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Nursing admissions processes for the 2022 admissions cycle only. Students are encouraged to submit a strong personal statement and a list of extracurricular activities along with their high school transcripts and application.
