You may also use the online Universal College Application.  Rockhurst is now among many colleges and universities accepting the the Universal College Application. Our goal is to make the online college application process more comprehensive for students.

However, in order to take advantage of all financial aid opportunities, it is preferable to apply at least 60 days prior to the start of the semester.
