Traditional Application Deadlines

Campus-Based/Online Application Deadlines

Graduate Programs

Traditional semesters run for 16 weeks and consist of face-to-face instruction, online curriculum or hybrid instruction.

Rolling Admission

Programs with a rolling admission process review applications as they arrive on a rolling basis instead of collecting applications then reviewing them all at once. Under rolling admission, applications are considered as they arrive. So, the sooner you apply, the sooner you'll hear back. Some programs with rolling admission also set a priority deadline. Students who apply by the priority date have better chances of getting admitted to their semester of choice.

If you plan to apply for scholarships and other possible funding opportunities, we strongly recommend you apply two months before the priority or program-specific deadline.

International Students Graduate Application Deadlines

UTRGV established the following international student graduate application deadlines to allow students ample time to obtain a visa and make travel arrangements.

IMPORTANT: Some program-specific deadlines are much earlier than those shown below. In such instances, the program-specific deadlines supersede the international student graduate application deadlines.

Semester	Semester Starts	Graduate Application Deadline
Fall	August	June 1
Spring	January	October 15
Summer I	June	April 1
Summer II	July	May 1

N/A = The program does not admit students for that semester.
