Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, allowing applications year-round. However, priority deadlines ensure consideration for scholarships and specific intakes. The fall semester priority deadline is typically March 1, while the winter semester deadline is November 1. Summer applications are due by April 1.
Some competitive programs or graduate degrees may have stricter deadlines, so verifying with the relevant department is advised. International students should apply at least three months early to accommodate visa processing. SVSU’s website provides updated deadlines and intake-specific requirements, ensuring applicants can plan accordingly.
