Early Assurance and Priority Admissions

Secure Your Place in Highly Selective, In-Demand Programs

Due to high demand and limited enrollment capacity, admission to some University of Mary programs is highly competitive. That’s why we created our Early Assurance and Priority Admissions programs.

Our Early Assurance program is designed for incoming freshmen.
Our Priority Admissions program is for students who have already completed 60-89 credits.

Requirements for each program are included in the accordions below.

If you are a student who qualifies, you can apply to these programs immediately following your acceptance at Mary — fast-tracking your access to a seat in a competitive program with capped enrollment.

Program Requirements

To apply for Early Assurance, you will need:

a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 on a 4.00 scale* or
an ACT composite score of 24 or greater or a SAT score of 1200 or greater.

Please note: Minimum requirements may change based on your intended major.

Next Steps

After you have applied to Mary and been accepted, apply for Early Assurance through your student portal.

July 1 in the year you are admitted is the deadline to apply for the Early Assurance Program. Make sure to apply early, as slots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
