News at Adelphi

Admission to Adelphi University will become standardized-test-optional for current high school juniors applying for admission this coming year, recognizing the difficulty of taking SATs or ACTs during the pandemic.

In less than one week, we received more than 1,000 applications for assistance, totaling more than $3.4 million in requests.

As we look ahead, I'd like to give an update on our plans for the fall semester and share the important factors that will guide our University's decisions moving forward.

As we come to the end of our first full week with almost 100 percent of us working and learning remotely, I want to recognize you and express my appreciation.
