An application deadline is the date after which the department may no longer accept applications.
Some departments only accept applications for specific semesters.
Please contact your intended department before submitting a late application or before applying for a semester to which a department does not normally admit new students. No matter when you apply you will be assessed an application fee, even if the department decides not to consider your application. It is critical that both the Graduate School and the intended department, receive all necessary application materials by the departmental deadline . If no application deadline is noted for the department to which you are applying, please apply at least six weeks prior to the start of the semester. A fellowship deadline is the date by which both the Graduate School and the department must receive your application in order for you to be considered for a University fellowship for the coming fall semester.
