Regular Decision

Kenyon uses a three-part application. Part I is an optional form that requests basic biographical information. Part II consists of the Common Application form. Part III is the Kenyon Supplement to the Common Application. Parts II and III request more detailed information and include the essay and several short answer questions. Our Regular Decision deadline is January 15.

You can complete all the forms online and send them to Kenyon over the Internet, or you can download, print, complete and mail the application to Kenyon's Office of Admissions. If you apply online, there is no application fee.
