Office of Admissions
Our Office of Admissions continues to operate, just differently.

We're here to answer any questions you may have through email, phone calls, Zoom appointments, individual in-person visits and virtual visit options.

Speaking of Zoom - we've created a handful of campus-inspired and spirit-themed Zoom backgrounds to keep us united even when we're apart.


Alfred University's admissions process will be test-optional for anyone enrolling in the Spring or Fall of 2021, Spring and Fall 2022, Spring and Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 giving you the option of including your scores from the SAT or ACT, if you choose.

While some of our faculty and staff are working remotely, all of our offices are open. You are able to contact them by email or phone.
