Claremont Graduate University (CGU) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, allowing applications to be submitted year-round. However, priority deadlines vary by program and term. Fall intake typically has a priority deadline of January 5, while spring intake deadlines usually fall around November 1. Some programs may have earlier or specific deadlines, so verifying with the department is advisable.
Applicants are encouraged to submit materials at least six weeks before the desired term to ensure timely processing. CGU’s website provides detailed program-specific deadlines and requirements, ensuring applicants can plan accordingly. Late applications may be considered if space permits.
