Graduate College Application and Credentials Deadlines - 2009

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 because of the large volume of applications they receive. 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 have earlier deadlines than domestic applicants.

Applicants should use the General Graduate Deadlines listed below unless your intended program of study is listed under Graduate Programs with Earlier Deadlines.
