Who is considered a returning student?
Applicants who have attended Rockhurst University previously.

Will Rockhurst accept my college credits?
Generally, coursework transferred from regionally accredited colleges or universities may be used to satisfy Rockhurst degree requirements. The following types of credit will not be accepted:

Courses completed at the lowest passing grade at another institution; for example, a grade of "D"

  • Practicum
  • Cooperative education
  • Field experience
  • Internship
  • Quality points earned at another school

Rockhurst will accept up to 64 credit hours from two-year junior or community colleges or up to 90 credit hours from four-year colleges or universities. Meet with an admission counselor to discuss specific courses.

Does Rockhurst need my high school transcript or ACT scores again?
No. Rockhurst keeps these documents in students' files even after they leave school.

When is the deadline for undergraduate admission applications?
Rockhurst University operates on a rolling admission basis, reviewing applications as they are submitted. However, priority is given to applications received by Dec. 1 for the following fall's freshman class. Transfer students may apply any time throughout the year. However, in order to take advantage of all financial aid opportunities, it is preferable to apply by April 1.

When is the deadline to submit financial aid applications?
You should begin applying for financial aid as soon as you have submitted an application for admission. Keep in mind that you won't be awarded financial aid until you are accepted to the university. Your chance of receiving a more comprehensive financial aid package increases the earlier you submit a financial aid application.

Applicants should submit financial applications by Feb. 15 for priority consideration for federal and university funds.

What majors and minors are offered?
Rockhurst offers more than 50 undergraduate fields of study.
