Application & admissions explained.
Application Deadlines
AUR operates a ‘rolling’ admissions process with preference given to early applicants. Please click here for undergraduate and here for graduate for specific timeframes related to our Admissions Rounds. Due to student visa purposes, Non-EU/EAA students are encouraged to complete their applications as soon as possible.
Visas and Permit to Stay
Students who are not European citizens, or holders of an EU residency card, or of a current and valid EU visa, are required by law to obtain a student visa from the Italian consulate before departing from their home country. The necessary documentation will be provided to each accepted student once the deposit has been paid. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the student visa is obtained before arriving in Italy. As it may take several weeks to obtain an appointment with the local Italian Consulate, we recommend completing the application as soon as possible. Please visit our Visas and Permits page for more information.
Scholarships
To be considered for AUR merit and need-based scholarships, students are encouraged to apply early--even before being accepted to the University--although notifications will arrive upon acceptance. The priority application deadlines are the following:
- Fall: April 1st
- Spring: November 1st
Financial Aid
If you are a US citizen or permanent resident, complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and have the information sent to us by submitting our school code on the FAFSA: G31025.
Minimum GPA Scores
AUR requires a minimum high school GPA of 3.0. However, each applicant is reviewed individually; leadership, motivation, academic improvement, the level of the high school program’s difficulty, involvement in activities, and potential for growth are important considerations in the selection process.

SAT and ACT scores are optional requirements for U.S. applicants.
