Historical Note

The Admissions Office first appeared as an office within the Registrar’s Office in 1948-1949. During the 1959-1960 fiscal year, the office became Admissions and Scholarships, and was separated from the Registrar’s Office. In 2007 it became the Office of Admissions; administration of scholarships was taken over by the Financial Aid Office.

Below is the reporting structure of the Office of Admissions, by fiscal year (e.g., the first date range would be July 1, 1948 – June 30, 1956).
