Ferris State University operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, allowing applications year-round. However, priority deadlines ensure consideration for scholarships and specific intakes. Fall semester applications are recommended by July 1, spring by November 1, and summer by April 1.
Some competitive programs, like nursing or pharmacy, may have earlier deadlines. Transfer students follow similar timelines but should verify program-specific requirements. International students must apply at least three months prior to the start date to accommodate visa processing. Always check the university’s official website or contact admissions for updates, as deadlines may vary by program or academic year.
