The University of Maryland (UMD) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, but priority deadlines are critical for consideration. Fall semester applications typically close by November 1 for early action and January 20 for regular decision. Spring semester deadlines usually fall around December 1.
Graduate programs have varying deadlines, often between December and March for fall intake, while some departments accept spring or summer applications. Check specific program requirements, as professional schools like the Robert H. Smith School of Business may have earlier cutoffs. International students should account for additional processing time for visas and documentation.
