Application Deadlines You should submit your application at least six weeks before the semester or summer session in which you wish to enroll. However, most programs establish earlier application deadlines, so you should check with your department about its specific deadlines. In addition, if you are applying for a graduate assistantship, you must be admitted to graduate study before an assistantship can be awarded. The faculty of this academic program reviews these materials and decides whether or not to admit you. Their decision is then reviewed by the Graduate College.
Some programs review applications as they are received.
Other programs review all applications received by their stated deadline at one time. In this case, you will probably be notified of the decision approximately one month after the application deadline. We cannot grant graduate credit for any work you earn before being admitted in one of these categories. We assign this status when you have met all admission requirements of the Graduate College and of your intended program. Normally, you can apply no more than 12 hours of graduate credit earned while in provisional status toward a graduate degree.
