Application Deadlines

The University of Dayton's calendar year is divided into three terms. Application deadlines for international students are:

Fall term (August through December) — May 1
Spring term (January through April) — August 1
Summer term (May through July) — Case-by-case basis

We will continue to process complete applications received after the deadline; however, we cannot guarantee an admission decision will be reached in time to begin the desired term. All pending applications will automatically be considered for the next available term.

Admission Evaluation

Once your application is complete, the admission evaluation and review process takes approximately four to six weeks. Due to the volume of applications we receive, repeated inquiries regarding your application status may cause delays. You can check your status at any time, without delay, through our online status check. Please use goglobal@udayton.edu for all e-mail correspondence.
