Because Macalester is a residential campus, enrollment is limited, so it\u2019s important to get your deposit in on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Application Type & Deposit Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Early Decision I enrollment deposit deadline: December 22, 2025 With regard to the \u201ccontingency clause\u201d in your offer of admission, Macalester\u2019s offer of admission is contingent upon your successful completion of all secondary school coursework at a level similar to your previous work, as well as the requirement that you submit a final copy of your secondary school transcript for approval prior to matriculation. If extenuating circumstances have caused any limitations on your ability to complete your coursework or produce a final transcript email admissions@macalester.edu<\/a> and we will assist you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you chose to provide test scores, official test scores<\/strong> may be submitted in the following ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re excited to see Mac’s new class on campus!

College\/university credits, summer session college credits, credits earned through a post-secondary education program, International Baccalaureate credits, and Advanced Placement Program credits are included in this 32-credit limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once enrolled<\/strong>, you must request that an official transcript be sent directly to the Registrar\u2019s Office by the college or university through which you took courses. Student-issued transcripts will not be accepted for transfer of credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the official college\/university transcript is received by the Registrar\u2019s Office, the evaluation process will begin and credit will be transferred accordingly. Transcripts can be mailed to the address below, or sent via secure electronic transmission to Macalester College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Electronic Transmission:<\/strong> Mailing Address:<\/strong> If you have questions about transfer credits before enrollment, contact your admissions counselor directly or send questions to admissions@macalester.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
