For Spring semester (January start): The completed application must be received by October 1.

For Fall semester (August start): The completed application must be received by May 1.

After these dates, applications may be considered on a space available basis for students who already are in the U.S. on a valid visa, but not later than November 1 for the spring semester and June 1 for the fall semester.

A complete application includes the application for admission and all required documents.

Please note: online applications must be submitted before 5pm (Mountain) on the deadline date.

Applicants are expected to check their application status online for the most current information; instructions and the applicant's CSUID are sent once the application is processed.

Once an application is complete and is referred to the committee for review, applicants can expect to receive notification of their application status within a few weeks.

Because we review each application fully and holistically, some applications take longer to review than others, and additional information may be requested before a decision can be rendered.

Email is a primary communication tool for Admissions. It is important that applicants keep a valid email address on file with the Office of Admissions at all times, that applicants check their email at least once a week during the admission process, and that the domain "colostate.edu" be added to the applicant's safe senders list.
