Youngstown State University (YSU) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, but priority deadlines ensure timely processing. Fall semester applications are recommended by August 1, spring by December 1, and summer by May 1. Graduate programs may have specific deadlines, so checking the department website is advised.
Some competitive programs or scholarships require earlier submissions. For example, the Honors College suggests a February 1 deadline for fall enrollment. International students should apply at least three months prior to the semester start to allow for visa processing. Always verify dates on YSU’s official admissions page, as they may vary by program or year.
