APPLY NOWPriority Deadlines for Admission
Though we accept applications on a rolling basis, we encourage you to apply by the priority deadlines. Students who apply by the deadlines will receive priority admittance and have a greater chance of getting into the classes they want. The earlier you apply, the better!
For students who submit their applications after the deadlines, we will still evaluate your applications but won’t be able to guarantee your semester of choice.
UAH allows you to apply to only one graduate program at a time. Some programs may have different deadlines, so please check to see if your program falls under that category.
Please note, international students pursuing a F1 or J1 student visa, should meet priority deadlines for international students.
