Application Fees and Deadlines

Fees

• The non-refundable application fee is $50 for applications submitted on or before the regular application deadline or $125 for applications submitted after the regular application deadline.
• Freshman applicants can pay their fees using the ApplyTexas Application website or, if their application has already been submitted, through the UT Dallas Marketplace.
• Applicants with international academic documents will be assessed an additional international credential evaluation fee of $50.

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, test scores, 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.

More information regarding regular and late registration is available on the academic calendar.
