Additional support
For students with a medical condition or disability
It’s important for you to let your university know about any medical condition or disability you may have, so they can ensure you get the support you need. This will not affect your admissions assessment. All US universities are required to make an environment that’s accessible to students with disabilities. This includes:
- accessible classrooms, housing, labs, libraries and transportation
- guidance on requesting support, such as sign language, interpreters, alternative formats, note-takers and extra time on tests
- extra academic advising
- mental health and wellbeing support
For students who want to earn a US high school diploma
ASU Global Academy is an accredited online US high school diploma program created by the USA’s most innovative university, Arizona State University. The program has been built with international students in mind, inviting global learners to join the US education system from anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection!
US university admission decisions
Here’s some help with questions you might have about an admission decision from a US university.
When will I receive an admission decision?
This varies a lot depending on when you apply and the university/program you apply for. At the University of Connecticut, the majority of decisions are released together on March 1. At our other US university partners, typical decision times vary from five working days to around one month from the date your application is considered complete by the University.
What does unconditional admission mean?
An unconditional offer means that there are no conditions you need to meet, but you may still need to send financial documents as part of the visa application process.
What do I need to do if I have conditional admission?
If you need to improve your English proficiency, you will be conditionally admitted to a degree or pathway program. You must then submit a qualifying language score or join an English preparation program, before you start your academic program.
If you have received a conditional offer for a graduate program then you will need to complete any pre-requisites in order to be admitted.
What happens if my application is unsuccessful?
If your application is not successful, we can look at alternative or more suitable study options for you, based on your qualifications and circumstances. For example, the university may offer you an alternative program if you are not admitted to your preferred major.
Important dates
Some of our US university partners have multiple intakes per year. We always recommend applying as early as possible, so that you have enough time to arrange your US student visa and student housing.
