The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology operates on a rolling admissions basis, but priority deadlines ensure timely processing. For fall semester enrollment, the recommended application deadline is August 1. Spring semester applicants should target December 1 for priority consideration.
Undergraduate applications are accepted year-round, though late submissions may impact financial aid eligibility. Graduate programs often have stricter deadlines, typically February 1 for fall and October 1 for spring. International students should apply at least three months earlier to allow for visa processing. Always verify specific program deadlines on the university’s official website, as some departments may enforce additional requirements.
