Transfer Admissions Deadlines
Admissions for the fall and spring semesters each have two deadlines—priority and regular. Applications received by the priority deadline will get full consideration. Applications received or completed after the priority deadline will be reviewed on a space-available basis. Some programs may close their admissions before the final deadline.
