Deadlines
Application Deadlines for Domestic Students
To insure full consideration for financial support and because some programs limit the numbers of students they accept each year, early application is strongly recommended.
Applications submitted by January 15, or by December 1 for those programs which have an application deadline of December 1, will automatically be considered for university, School of Education and departmental fellowships, assistantships and fee scholarships. However, the School of Education maintains a rolling admission policy, processing applications until the final deadline (for fall admission) of June 1, except for the programs listed in the exceptions section of the table below. Applicants for fall admission should be aware that chances for financial support can diminish markedly if an application is received later than the application deadline.

Application Deadlines for International Students
International applicants must submit their application materials to the Office of International Admissions. Applicants are advised to submit all application materials well in advance of the final deadlines. All applications for Ph.D. programs for summer or fall admission must be received by the Office of International Admissions by December 1. The application deadline for fall admission to other graduate programs is March 1, except for Inquiry Methodology, Learning & Developmental Sciences, and Higher Education and Student Affairs, for which the application deadline is December 1. Applications for spring admission must be received by September 1.
For applicants who do not meet the GPA or GRE standards noted in the Admissions Criteria section, admissions decisions are made shortly after the dates of December 15, March 1, April 15, and June 1.
Most decisions about financial support (fellowships, assistantships, and fee remission scholarships) are made between February and May. Applicants seeking financial support should apply early. (See Financial Support.)
