No one knows more about the quality Canisius experience than the faculty and staff of the college. To encourage deserving students to apply to Canisius, please tell them to use the college’s on-line Web application or select Canisius College when using the common application. Either way, they will save the $40 application fee. Fthose who prefer a paper application, contact the Admissions Office to have a fee-waived application sent.
Last year, Canisius received a record-high 4,400 applications — nearly 1,300 from the college’s own Web application and 1,300 from the common application. This was remarkable for Canisius as it was the first year the college was a common application member school.
