Is there an application deadline?
For priority consideration and early notification for a fall quarter start, applications should be completed by early July. However, applications received by mid-August will be reviewed before the start of the quarter. While we will make every effort to review applications in time for fall quarter, we cannot guarantee that you will have time to register if your application is received late.
Applications received by mid-November will be reviewed prior to winter quarter, and those received by mid-February will be reviewed prior to spring quarter.
