Dates marked with * are soft deadlines. If space and time allow, new applications will be considered. Programs may fill at any time.

Programs with a posted decision date review all applicants at one time after the deadline. Applicants will be notified of their status after that date. Alternatively, rolling admission means that applications are reviewed when completed and decisions are issued within about 7 days.

Graduate Nursing Program deadlines:

Most graduate nursing programs do not have specific deadlines. Prospective students need to be admitted two weeks before the session's start date. In case of non-admission by that date, the start date will be deferred to the next session. It is recommended you complete your application at least 3-4 weeks before the preferred start date. Start dates can be reviewed on the School of Nursing calendar.
