Notre Dame's Regular Decision Requirements

You may apply to any of QuestBridge's partner colleges via Regular Decision. Admission through Regular Decision is not binding and does not come with a guaranteed financial aid package. You must complete two steps in order to apply to a partner college via QuestBridge:

  • Request Regular Decision application forwarding on your "My Locker" page between December 1st and December 15th.
  • Submit all required additional materials. Required materials may range from submitting official transcripts to emailing the college's admissions office to submitting the Common Application.


All additional materials are due by the individual college's Regular Decision deadline, and you will be notified of the admissions decision according to their normal deadlines. Please note that colleges may have different Regular Decision deadlines, and many partner colleges have different requirements for QuestBridge finalists and non-finalists. You may need to submit additional materials even if you ranked a college for the College Match process.
