The priority deadline for fall semester is January 15; this is the only the only deadline for applicants who wish to be considered for a graduate assistantship (DGA), in which you work up to 20 hours per week in exchange for tuition and a stipend.

A second deadline for fall semester is March 1; no graduate assistantship funding is available for applications completed between January 16 and March 1. 

Your application must be fully completed by January 15 or March 1 (not just submitted). We recommend you submit your application at least two weeks prior to the deadline to ensure recommenders have time to complete their recommendations by the deadline.
