Deadlines

Application Deadlines

Each department may have an application deadline earlier than the final Graduate School application deadline for each semester. You should check with the department to assure that your application is submitted and all materials are received by the department application deadline.

We encourage applicants to submit their complete applications, including supplemental materials, early to allow sufficient time for application processing. International applicants must be accepted by the Graduate School no later than May 15 for fall and October 15 for spring to allow sufficient time for immigration processes and travel.

Prospective students seeking scholarships and loans should contact the Virginia Tech Office of University Scholarships and Financial Aid for financial aid deadlines.

Graduate School Application and Department Decision Deadlines

The following application and decision deadlines have been established by the Graduate School for the upcoming entry terms as the last date to apply if the department to which you are applying does not have an earlier established deadline:
