Students who meet the above requirements are welcome to apply for comprehensive services (application available November 1).
We begin reviewing applications in early December for the following academic year. Interviews typically begin in January and February until all interview slots are filled.
Students are encouraged to reach out to Undergraduate Admissions for questions regarding their admission status before applying to Spectrum Scholars.
Spectrum Scholars also offers group-based workshops, supports, and limited drop-in coaching for UD autistic/neurodivergent students not receiving comprehensive support. No formal diagnosis or application is required.
