Applying made easy.

If you would like to join our engaged community of scholars, take the time to apply today. The vast majority of our new students apply for fall admission, but it is also possible to start at Eckerd in January (our intensive one-month mini-term). For all points of entry, we are on rolling admission. This means that beginning in October our Admission Committee will start reviewing completed applications. Once your file is complete and ready for review, a decision is made within four weeks.

  1. Eckerd College Online Application
  2. Common Application Online* - We consider the Eckerd College application and the Common Application equally.
  3. PDF Eckerd application
