Admissions: Most departments and schools have deadlines in November and December for the following Fall term (nearly a year in advance). Be sure to consult Departmental Information for the specific deadline for your proposed major. Applications to some programs may be considered if received after a program's stated deadline, provided that the enrollment limitations have not been exceeded. Fellowships and other financial support depend on availability of funds.

Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) deadline for acceptance of an offer of admission and financial support (such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship). In accord with the CGS Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees and Assistants, students are under no obligation to respond to offers of admission and financial support prior to April 15. Earlier deadlines for acceptance of such violate the intent of this Resolution. UCLA is a supporter of the Resolution and honors this deadline.
