The University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, but priority deadlines vary. Fall semester applications typically close by December 1 for early action and February 1 for regular decision. Spring semester deadlines usually fall around October 15, while summer intake deadlines vary by program.
Graduate programs may have different deadlines, often ranging from December to March for fall enrollment. Prospective students should verify specific program requirements, as some departments enforce earlier cutoffs. International applicants are advised to apply at least three months prior to deadlines to accommodate visa processing.
