Bellarmine University's Office of Undergraduate Admission has extended its November 1 early action enrollment deadline to December 1, 2012, for prospective students affected by Hurricane Sandy.

"We know that Hurricane Sandy has had a significant impact on so many people, across such a significant portion of the country," said Tim Sturgeon, Bellarmine's dean of undergraduate admission. "The last thing we'd want anyone to worry about in the coming days is that they may have missed our early action deadline. Our thoughts and prayers are with those future Knights who were affected, and we look forward to hearing from them when their individual circumstances permit."

Any affected applicants who need assistance with the process should contact the Admission Office at 502-272-7100 or admissions@bellarmine.edu. Bellarmine's undergraduate application is available online.

When prospective students apply for early action admission, the application fee is waived, and students receive notification of institutional merit awards in December. Students impacted by the hurricane will receive notification by December 14.
