Western Michigan University (WMU) typically operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, allowing applications year-round. However, priority deadlines are recommended for financial aid and scholarship consideration. Fall semester priority is usually December 1, while winter semester priority is November 1.
Graduate programs have varying deadlines, often between February and June for fall intake. Some programs may admit for winter or summer semesters. International students should apply at least six months early to accommodate visa processing. Always verify specific deadlines on WMU’s official website or by contacting the admissions office, as dates may vary by program.
