Using Bard's Admission Portal

Text about what triggers a green check mark, how long it takes, and what to do if an item is not checked off.

You will receive an email from Admission stating that there has been an update to your Applicant Portal. You will login and click on "View Update" on your portal. Offers of Admission can be accepted, declined, or deferred, within the portal. Enrollment deposits can be made using a credit card, or you can indicate that your payment is forthcoming via a check or money order. 
You will also receive notifications from time-to-time and those notifications can also be read in "View Update." 

As an applicant, you will receive a login for your Bard Applicant Portal. That portal gives you access to your Application Checklist. Check your Application Checklist periodically to see if there are missing application materials. Upload all materials, including any supplemental materials you wish to share with us, to your Bard Applicant Portal. To submit documents through your Applicant Portal, please upload a Word document, PDF or scanned image file. 

Transcripts and recommendations submitted by your counselors and teachers will eventually appear with a green checkmark on your Application Checklist as they are received. If your transcripts and recommendations do not appear in your Application Checklist after you've requested them to be sent to Bard, please follow-up with your counselor, teachers and/or your school office. We will also notify you, via email, if there are any missing materials.
