Mercyhurst University operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, allowing applications year-round. However, priority deadlines are recommended for optimal consideration: fall semester applicants should apply by March 1, and spring semester applicants by December 1. Graduate programs may have specific deadlines, varying by department.
For international students, deadlines are typically earlier—June 1 for fall and November 1 for spring—to accommodate visa processing. Nursing and other competitive programs may enforce stricter cutoffs. Always verify program-specific dates on the university’s official website or by contacting the admissions office directly, as deadlines can shift annually.
