Policies and Procedures
In keeping with its principles and traditions, Ohio Dominican University accepts only those students who by previous background and academic performance demonstrate a reasonable probability of success at the University. To this end, Ohio Dominican University has established entrance criteria limiting admission in most cases to those individuals whose prior grades and courses, and personal accomplishments combine to predict academic success at Ohio Dominican University.

Admission to the University is granted without regard to race, religion, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, disability, or marital status. Ohio Dominican University also ascribes to the equal opportunity mandates of the federal government, and to the statements of ethical recruiting practices adopted by the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC).

Admission Process
In general, Ohio Dominican University operates on a rolling admission basis with applications being considered as soon as all essential materials have been received. Students are usually notified of their status within two weeks of completing their application file. Once a student has decided to attend Ohio Dominican University, a $100 tuition deposit must be submitted to reserve a place in the entering class. This is not an additional cost and will be deducted from the initial billing statement from the Business Office (deposit not deductible for MED and TESOL students). The tuition deposit must be received before a student may register for classes as a first time graduate student and is refundable (if requested in writing) until August 1st for students who are enrolling for the Fall Semester, December 1 for students who are enrolling for the Spring Semester, and April 1 for students who are enrolling for the Summer Session.
