The Undergraduate Admission Office processes applications for prospective seminarians for Holy Trinity Seminary, Redemptoris Mater Seminary and the Vietnamese Redemptorist Seminary. Typically, students wishing to enter one of these seminaries have already obtained approval from their diocese or the rector of the desired seminary or are in the process of doing so.

For Holy Trinity seminarians

If you are planning to begin the propaedeutic stage of formation in the upcoming academic year,
you should apply here. If accepted, you will be a non-degree seeking student during the propaedeutic stage. In the following year you would apply for admission to UD as a full-time student.

If you are currently completing the propaedeutic stage of formation at Holy Trinity Seminary and you plan to begin the discipleship stage of formation at Holy Trinity Seminary in the upcoming academic year, you should apply here. If accepted, you will become a regular full-time student at UD as either an undergraduate or a pre-theologian.

If you will have completed the propaedeutic stage of formation at Holy Trinity Seminary prior to the upcoming academic
year somewhere else besides Holy Trinity Seminary, you should apply to UD as:

1. An incoming freshman, if you have not completed any college coursework after high
   school (please apply here, using the Common App). For a checklist of all the things needed to apply as an incoming freshman, click here).
2. A transfer student, if you have completed some college coursework after high school
   (please apply here. For a checklist of all the things
   needed to apply as a transfer, click here).
3. A pre-theologian, if you have completed a bachelor’s degree (please apply here).

For all other seminarians

If you will be receiving formation at Redemptoris Mater Seminary or the Vietnamese Redemptorist seminary, you should apply as a regular freshman, a transfer student, or a pre-theologian, depending on your prior academic history. You should follow the usual procedures for doing so. Please speak to your rector or religious superior in order to clarify your classification and the right application process for you.

If you have any questions about applying to UD as a seminarian, please contact the Undergraduate Office of Admission or Matthew Walz, the Director of the Philosophy & Letters and Pre-Theology Programs.
