General Application Deadlines

The following dates should be remembered as the deadline for application materials to arrive at graduate and international admissions. All supporting documents must be filed and all required tests must be taken by these dates in order for the applicant to be considered for admission. Please note that undergraduate scholarships and graduate degree programs may have earlier deadlines.

  • For Fall Semester enrollment: May 31
    (April 1 for overseas graduate applicants)
  • For Spring Semester enrollment: October 1
  • For Summer Session enrollment: March 1
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE APPLICANTS: Some departments require that you submit a separate application to them in addition to submitting an application to the Graduate School. This means that in addition to following the Graduate School procedures outlined on this page, you should go to the homepage of the department to which you are applying and read about the application procedures for that department and degree program. Some departments, for example, may require writing samples, statements of purpose, letters of recommendation, or other materials, and their deadlines may be different from that of the Graduate School.

Applications for Graduate Assistantships must be filed by February 1 in order to be considered for the Fall semester. (Assistantships generally are awarded on a nine month contract beginning in the Fall.) You can find the Graduate Assistant Application online at the University of Arkansas Graduate School Web Site, under Forms and Resources.
