Priority Application Dates
International students are encouraged to apply early to prevent application processing and visa delays. Apply online no later than the priority application date; however, applications will be accepted after the priority date on a space-available basis. Carefully follow the instructions in the international application checklist below. When an application for admission is approved, the university will send an official written notice of admission for a specific term.
Note: If you are applying directly to a degree program, priority application dates and program requirements vary. More information is available on the degree programs websites.
