DANBURY, Connecticut — High school seniors nationwide are currently in the final stages of narrowing down their college choices for next fall. That means campus tours, web searches and word-of-mouth will come into play in the decision-making process, as well as details about costs, financial aid and more.
At Western Connecticut State University, the first pool of applicants for next fall has already received their acceptance letters and will be welcomed to campus for a more in-depth tour; the opportunity to meet current students and faculty from the programs in which they are interested; and a chance to ask questions of academic deans, financial aid staff and more. They will experience this at WestConn Accepted Students Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Register here.
Students who submit their deposit before or during the event will be entered into a raffle for a full four-year in-state tuition scholarship. Students will also have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with their financial aid counselor and receive a personalized balance worksheet.
Western Connecticut State University has rolling admission, which means WestConn is continuously accepting applications and providing decisions as soon as each application review is complete, so there is still time to apply. Incoming freshmen can apply via the CommonApp or using WestConn’s online application.
