For regular admission into the Class of 2031, the admissions committee will examine:
- Completed applications (including a response to a Class of 2031 prompt)
- Report cards from the 7th and 8th grade
- Most recent standardized test scores/proficiency test scores
- Attendance and discipline records (if not included on report cards)
- High School Placement Test Scores
For admission to the Educational Services Program, for students with identified learning disabilities, the admissions committee will examine all of the above as well as:
- Evaluation Team Report (ETR) or an educational evaluation
- IEP/ISP, 504 Plan or school accommodation plan, if applicable
- Teacher recommendations
Legacy will be considered as a positive attribute only, meaning a lack of legacy will not hurt an applicant. In very specific situations, the committee may ask for a reference to address a specific area of question or the committee may contact the grade school principal to follow up on a specific issue.
Prospective students who are interested in the Educational Services (ES) Program must indicate their desire to apply for the Program on the application for admission to Saint Ursula Academy. In order to guarantee a high quality of service, the ES Program maintains a small number of students in each class. Our ES Program Coordinator, Ms. Courtney Arling, along with the admissions committee, reviews each application for admissions to the ES Program at the same time as the general application review.
In accordance with the Archdiocesan calendar, the admissions committee will send decision letters on January 15, 2027. An acceptance letter will also include financial aid offers, notification of academic scholarship, and notification of conditional acceptance. Per Archdiocese policy, no one from Saint Ursula will contact any accepted student until after January 18, 2027; however, an applicant may contact the Director of Admissions to clarify questions or concerns at any time.
Enrollment for the Class of 2031 will be January 25, 2027. Families must enroll between the hours of 3:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Should this date pose a conflict, please notify the Director of Admissions as soon as possible. All enrollment materials will be included in the acceptance packet.
If the class is filled on the enrollment day (January 25, 2027), a waitlist for enrollment may be used thereafter. To be placed on the waitlist, a student must be accepted for admission to Saint Ursula Academy. New applicants will still be considered and placed on the waitlist only if admitted.
Saint Ursula Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin in admitting students to all its programs or in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered program.
