The University of North Carolina (UNC) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, with key deadlines varying by term. For fall intake, the priority application deadline is typically October 15 for early action and January 15 for regular decision. Spring intake deadlines usually fall around October 1.
Graduate programs may have different deadlines, often between December and February. Professional schools, such as law or medicine, adhere to stricter timelines. Applicants should verify specific deadlines on UNC’s official website or department pages, as dates can shift annually. Late submissions are rarely considered, so early preparation is advised.
