When to apply

Higher education is an ongoing process that you can start any time. However, it's important to be mindful of deadlines. Important deadlines and information can be found on our Academic Calendars. Certain competitive programs have earlier application deadlines and requirements which are listed on their program pages. Registration for winter and spring semester classes typically begins in November, and summer and fall class registrations typically begin the end of March. Newly admitted students can sign up for an orientation session where our advisers walk you through next steps. If you need help with admissions, advising, finanical aid, making payments and more, you can speak with our Enrollment Services team virtually or in person.

Planning on applying for financial aid?
