International Application Deadlines

Graduate applicants, departmental deadlines may be much earlier than the International deadline. Check with your department for specific information. 

• A “preferred” deadline date is provided to encourage early application submission in order to provide ample time to process international applications, obtain necessary visa documentation, and prepare for TWU enrollment.
• All other deadlines listed are final for that term.
• TWU will make every effort to process completed applications in a timely manner; however, there is no guarantee an application decision will be provided in ample time for visa processing.  It is encouraged that one apply early and be mindful of any specific academic program deadlines.

Deferring an Admission Application

• International applicants that have not yet been accepted to TWU should complete an Application Change Form.
• International applicants that have been accepted to TWU may defer their application up to one year from the first semester of acceptance (Example: A student accepted for Fall 2013 may only defer their admission to Spring 2014).  Students cannot defer their admission for more than a year.  In this case, the student will be required to reapply and pay another application fee.  Previously submitted transcripts, marksheets, and diplomas will not be required.  If the student has attended another college or university since the date of his/her application, only new transcripts, marksheets, and diplomas will be required with the new application.
