The pages that follow list institutions willing to consider additional applications from freshman and/or transfer students as well as institutions that are no longer accepting applications for fall Prospective students should apply to an open institution as soon as possible because openings are limited at some institutions, especially in bachelor s degree programs. Students are advised not to reapply to any colleges where their applications have already been rejected. Many of the campuses with openings will consider applicants for most programs on a rolling basis. Some colleges reporting openings also reported that certain programs are already filled to capacity. Those programs are identified on the list. More than half of colleges with openings that also offer on-campus housing indicated that housing was still available for additional new students as of May 1.
