Deadlines

The deadlines below reflect the last possible day to apply through UNT GradCAS. Applying earlier is recommended to ensure a timely admission decision and, assuming admission, course registration prior to the start of the semester.

Desired Starting Semester International Application Deadline*   Domestic Application Deadline
Summer May 15 June 15
Fall June 15 August 15
Spring January 5 January 5

*If seeking an F1 Visa and do not yet reside in the U.S., you should apply a minimum of two months PRIOR to the dates listed to allow time for issuance of an I20.

Applicant Guidelines

  1. Please confirm that your program is available for your desired semester prior to applying to avoid future update fees. If in doubt, please contact us.
  2. If you are seeking UNT scholarships (which are highly competitive and merit-based), this may impact your desired start date: All scholarship awards for the academic year are announced by June, so mid-year scholarship applications for a Spring start are not available.
  3. International applicants must apply to the FALL or SPRING semesters only, with the exception of the MBA Management Cohort (summer application for all applicants to the Cohort).
  4. International applicants who apply to the following MBA Concentrations will not be able to request an I20 for the programs. Please do not select these if seeking an F1 Visa: Health Services Management, Music Business, Organizational Behavior & HR, Strategic Management, Supply Chain Management, Supply Chain Analytics, or Sport Entertainment Management ONLINE.
  5. If applying as an international applicant and will require a Visa, you will need additional time to request an I20 and secure a Visa appointment in advance of your desired semester. Future updates to your application, if required, will incur an additional application fee, so select your desired semester with care.
