Projected application deadlines

You are strongly encouraged to file an application as soon as possible during the priority filing period for your appropriate category: Freshman, Transfer, Graduate, International, Summer. Applications postmarked during the priority filing period may have an advantage when space is limited.

The University reserves the right to curtail admission, adjust requirements, and limit enrollment due to space limitations; therefore, it may not be possible to offer admission to all qualified applicants. Supporting documents such as ACT/SAT scores and transcripts from other colleges may take up to six weeks to arrive. Allow plenty of time for agencies/schools to process your requests.

Please read the description of each application carefully in order to apply through the most appropriate classification.
