Deadline to Apply

While most departments do not have a deadline to apply to take a graduate course under Lifelong Learning status, it is highly recommended that you apply with sufficient time to get instructor permission, submit any required supporting documents, register for the course(s), and take care of any university business (ID card, parking pass, tuition payments, etc.) associated with your course(s).

  • Fall:  August 15
  • Winter:  November 15
  • Spring:  February 15
  • Summer:  May 15

The purpose of the deadlines is so that you may attend new student orientation, which includes information important to your success in MGT classes.
