Applicants should refer to the graduate admissions website at http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu for deadlines, which vary according to each program. The deadline for consideration for assistantships and fellowships is March 1, but some programs have established different financial aid deadlines, which they indicate in their application instructions. International students applying from abroad must submit application materials by November 1 for a spring semester admission and by April 1 for a fall semester admission. Programs reserve the right to close admission prior to stated deadlines or to extend deadline dates if sufficient time exists in which to make decisions. Individuals should apply for admission and financial assistance as early as possible. The university may withdraw applications from students whose applications are incomplete at the deadline.
