Explore more of what we have to offer below, and let us know if you have questions. We can’t wait to see you!

A change to our deposit deadline

The Department of Education has informed us that colleges can expect to receive student information from the FAFSA no earlier than March 2024. Given this delay, Hampshire College has decided to extend our deposit deadline to June 1, 2024, for both Early Action and Regular Decision applicants. We understand that sticking to the traditional May 1 deadline would add unnecessary pressure on families as they navigate financial aid decisions for fall 2024 enrollment.

Whether you choose to enroll at Hampshire or at another college, we ask for your response to our offer of admission.
