Due to COVID-19, our DSO is electronically sending Form I-20s to student email addresses listed in SEVIS and accepting digital copies of all documents.

The College has made arrangements for new international students to take fully online classes from their home country for the Spring 2021 semester, in the event that they are unable to secure their F1 visa or unable to travel to the United States for the start of the Spring semester. This will allow students to make progress towards their degree and hopefully join their campus-based cohort in September for the start of the Fall 2021 semester. Some program limitations may apply. If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity, please contact Jake Shore at [email protected]. 
 
If beginning with online courses is not a possibility for you and you would prefer to defer your enrollment to the Fall 2021, which begins in September, then please send an email to [email protected] to state your intentions and request a deferral or complete the Enrollment Deferral Request Form.

Students who already hold an F1 Visa and wish to transfer to St. Joseph's College, are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. The Spring 2021 semester begins on January 28. For assistance or more information about the admissions process, prospective students may arrange a meeting with a counselor during one of our virtual appointments or virtual events, by using one of the links below:

St. Joseph's College will operate under a test-optional policy for admission to the 2021-2022 academic year. Applicants to the Spring 2021 may also apply without test scores, as needed.

For students who choose to apply without scores, the admissions committee will rely more heavily on other factors such as GPA, rigor of the curriculum, recommendations and personal essay. Other factors that may also be considered include contributions to school and community through activities and service. Interviews are also welcomed and can help the admissions committee get to know you as an applicant. 

If you were able to take an ACT or SAT and feel your scores represent your candidacy well and will increase your opportunities for admission or scholarship, you are encouraged to submit your scores. You should consult the admissions website to see how your scores align with the profile of previously enrolled students, admission to the honors program and various scholarship opportunities. 

You are encouraged to speak with an admissions counselor or participate in an upcoming information session to learn more about the College's test optional policy and discuss the best approach for your application.

The College will continue its multifaceted approach to course offerings with four options for learning: Remote, Hybrid, On-Ground and Online. For more information please visit our academics section.

Please refer to our student life section.
