Deadlines

All application materials must be received by the correct admissions office by the deadline. If a date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the deadline will be extended to the next business day. If the application is not completed by the deadline, it will be withdrawn. Students may apply for the next available term. Any materials already submitted may be used for the new application.

*Early Action

By applying to the Early Action deadline, students can potentially learn of acceptance to their top-choice schools early. This means more time to spend on identifying the best financial aid packages, planning campus visits, and ultimately, selecting the college with the best fit. Students accepted through Early Action still have until May 1 to make their final decision, but the sooner you secure your spot, the sooner you can start planning to attend.

Candidates not accepted for Early Action will be notified that they will be reconsidered for admission under Regular Decision. This will allow time for additional materials to be submitted that might strengthen the overall file (e.g., fall grades and/or additional SAT/ACT scores).

Graduate Application Deadlines

International graduate applications have the same deadlines as domestic students. International students should note the following two items:

1. All materials must be received by Azusa Pacific University by 5 p.m. PST of program’s deadline for an application to be considered.
2. International students applying from outside of the USA are allowed to apply up to a program's deadline, but should allow enough time for processing an application and student visa. Azusa Pacific University recommends that international students, applying from outside of the USA, apply at least 4 months prior to the start of term.
