The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, though priority deadlines apply. Fall semester applications are due by February 1 for early consideration, while the regular deadline is June 1. Spring semester applications should be submitted by November 1.
Graduate programs have varying deadlines, typically falling between January and March for fall enrollment. Some departments enforce earlier deadlines, so verifying with the specific program is advisable. International students must account for additional processing time, with recommended submissions at least three months prior to standard deadlines.
