Freshman Application Deadlines

The University of Maryland has a Two-Part Application. The Submission of Part I will be considered your official application to the University and indicates a serious interest in applying to Maryland. Students no longer interested in being considered for admission should send a written request to cancel their application.

Fall Admission

Priority Consideration Deadlines:

November 1: Part I application deadline.
Part I contains demographic and educational information and can be completed relatively quickly.
