Admissions deadlines apply to all application documents, as well as changes to your application including changing your term, major, and campus. We recommend submitting these requests well before deadlines to ensure everything is received on time.
In addition to application deadlines, please review our admission requirements page, which contains details about how we evaluate your application materials through our holistic admissions approach.
