Application information
First-year
Ready to apply? Belmont has application options to match your timeline. Apply Early Action I or II (non-binding) to receive your admissions decision sooner and maximize scholarship opportunities – or take more time and apply Regular Decision. Applicants to the School of Music, Department of Theatre & Dance, select Watkins College of Art programs and the Songwriting major have additional application steps, including auditions and portfolio submissions. Please check program-specific deadlines.
Transfer
Am I a transfer student? If you have completed or attempted coursework at a regionally accredited institution after graduating from high school, you should apply as a transfer. If your post-high school credits came from a non-nationally accredited college or the military, you should apply as a first-year student. Applications for admission to Belmont are considered on a rolling basis for transfer students, so early submission of an application is strongly encouraged. Applicants will be notified of a decision within a few weeks of completing the application. Belmont’s Transfer Admissions team is here to help you on your transfer journey!
