Admissions Timeline

Many of our adult undergraduate programs start multiple times over the course of a year, so you don't have to wait until the fall to begin your educational journey. Start dates are listed on each program page and are frequently offered every eight weeks. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but early submission of all application materials is encouraged. We suggest applying to your program no later than 4 weeks before the start date, however, some programs require more time.

Applying for financial aid? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens in October of each year for the following year's academic terms. We encourage you to submit your FAFSA as early as possible.
