2016 Application Deadlines
Your application, application fee, academic credentials and any additional materials required by your program must be received by the deadline stated.
Deadlines may change without notice and many programs will close before the stated deadline due to the large volume of applications they may receive, or other factors. It is to your advantage to apply well before the deadline. Applications and materials received after the deadlines will not be considered. Note that international applicants often have earlier deadlines than domestic applicants.
- Applicants should use the General Graduate Deadlines listed below unless your intended program of study is listed in the "Programs with Earlier Deadlines or Term Restrictions" section. See the link below the general deadlines.
- Many programs have deadlines that are earlier than the General Graduate College deadline. Additionally, many programs have earlier priority deadlines for applicants seeking funding, even though they may accept applications after that deadline. These are listed in the "Programs with Earlier Deadlines or Term Restrictions" section.
- Many programs admit students only in specific terms. Consult the "Programs with Earlier Deadlines or Term Restrictions" section to determine if your intended program of study accepts applications for the term in which you are interested in applying.
- International applicants should follow the General Graduate Deadlines for international applicants, unless your intended program of study is listed in the "Programs with Earlier Deadlines or Term Restrictions" section. Note that these are strict deadlines and all material must arrive by the date listed.
