Applicants to the Swanson School of Engineering should contact their Department directly with questions surrounding deadlines.

Depending on your selected program, the deadlines differ by department and term. Applications to the Swanson School of Engineering are accepted on a modified rolling basis for many departments. Each department has varying funding deadlines and are especially important for international students seeking visas, considering the university requires an ample amount of time to process your application for fall, spring, and summer terms.

Applications are reviewed only once they include all application materials. Application components which are frequently overlooked include: application fee, complete transcripts, and letters of recommendation. 

Please see the department links below for more information concerning your department and for the most up to date financial aid and term deadlines.
