Deadlines and Eligibility

Admission Deadlines for 2008

Students are admitted either summer or fall semester to the Graduate School. Complete applications must be received in the Office of Student & Career Advancement Services by 4:30 p.m. on the deadlines listed below. This includes all letters of recommendation and transcripts. We urge you to submit your application well in advance of the deadline to allow for delays in mailing and timely processing of materials. (Note: School of Nursing deadlines are earlier than Graduate School deadlines.)
