Applications

Application Processing Time

The application processing time is usually 6-8 weeks from the date your application is received at the Office of International Student Services. Processing time may be extended if certain required academic or financial documents are missing from your application. Therefore, we recommend that you send ALL of the required admission materials and documents in one package/envelope to avoid any unnecessary delays. Processing time for Graduate School applicants is longer and might take up to 6-10 weeks. Our goal is to inform you of our decision in a prompt manner.
