Congratulations and Welcome to Salisbury University!

Now that you have been admitted to Salisbury University, you must take another critical step to commit to join the flock. Log in to your Gull Net account and on the “Student” tab, click on “Accept/Decline Admission”. Follow the steps here and agree to the terms. You will be prompted to pay your non-refundable $300 admissions deposit. Once this payment has been completed, you will gain access to the Housing Contract, which is also located on Gull Net under the “Student” tab. You should complete the Housing Contract as soon as possible after paying your admissions deposit. Housing preferences are based on the completion date of the Housing Contract, so it is in your best interest to deposit and complete the Housing Contract as early as possible. Please note: SU has a two year on campus residency requirement. For additional information on options during COVID-19, please contact The Office of Housing and Residence Life. Please note: If you live locally and wish to apply for an exemption to on-campus housing, you must still complete the housing contract before requesting said exemption.

To get an early look at your future at Salisbury University, mark your calendar to visit campus on Saturday, April 4 ^th, 2020, for Admitted Student Day. Keep an eye out for your invitation arriving in February!

For more information, please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@salisbury.edu or 410-543-6161.

As an admitted student, you will be automatically considered for a merit scholarship based on your high school transcript and test scores. If you qualify, you will receive an initial scholarship award letter in the mail beginning in early October, or about 7 – 10 days after your acceptance letter thereafter.

Additionally, beginning December 1^st we encourage you to visit SU’s Academic Works site at https://salisbury.academicworks.com and fill out the general application to be matched with other available institutional scholarships. 

We encourage you and your family to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA online (available October 1, 2019 for the Fall 2020 – Spring 2021 semesters).  This free application takes as little as 30 minutes to complete and can help determine your eligibility for federal and state student financial aid. Please submit the FAFSA no later than March 1^st for priority SU financial aid consideration. Maryland residents must submit the FAFSA by March 1^st in order to be considered for an assortment of MD state financial aid programs. Students from other states should check in with their state’s Department of Education for more information.

While the priority funding deadline is March 1st, please note that for additional information and deadline updates during COVID-19, please contact The Office of Financial Aid.

Beginning in early February 2020, you will be notified that your SU financial aid package is ready to be reviewed on SU’s GullNet website via the path Main Menu>Self Service>Campus Finances>Accept/Decline Awards.
