Deadlines

• UT Dallas encourages all students to submit their application and complete their files as early as possible. An application file is considered “complete” for review when official academic transcripts and the ApplyTexas application are received.

• Completed applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. During peak application periods, it can take four to six weeks for an application file to be reviewed.
• Applications completed after the regular deadline will continue to be processed, but applicants may not receive a decision in time to avoid late class registration.

For an application to be considered complete, all supporting documents and transcripts must be postmarked on or before the deadline.
