Dates & Deadlines
Dates and deadlines — love them or hate them, they’re how you figure out when your program starts, when to apply for scholarships, when to show up to campus, and pretty much any other question you might have.
Application Deadlines
UM evaluates applications on a space-available basis until one week before the term
begins. The application for fall semester 2024, will close Aug. 19, 2024.
The earlier students submit the completed application and all required documents,
the higher their priority in admissions processing and scholarship consideration.

for fall semester or by Nov. 15 if you plan to enroll in for spring semester.
