Application deadlines

International student applicants must follow procedures required for all prospective students. However, due to the additional time required to evaluate transcripts, the posted deadlines represent the final date an application may be submitted—not the date by which materials should arrive. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply well in advance to allow time for all required documents to be received before review.
