Western Oregon University (WOU) operates on a quarter system with four intake periods: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Fall is the primary intake, starting in late September. Winter begins in January, Spring in March/April, and Summer in June. Deadlines vary by program and student type (domestic/international).
For undergraduate programs, Fall priority deadlines are typically February 1, with final deadlines in August. Graduate programs often have earlier deadlines, ranging from 3-6 months before the term starts. International students should apply at least 4-6 months early for visa processing. Check WOU’s official website for program-specific deadlines.
