Spring Admit
Spring Admit students begin their college careers in January rather than September.
The program is a perfect fit for the independent student who wants to take a breather between high school and college, but who also sees that time as an opportunity to pursue a distinctive intellectual, civic or social experience before enrolling at F&M. Each year, 48 students enroll at F&M via Spring Admit.
