Due to space limitations and the competitive nature of undergraduate admission at the University of Maryland, an international applicant should submit a complete application as early as possible, and always before the deadline. Applications completed after a deadline will not be considered for that semester, but will be reviewed for the following semester. Evaluation of an applicant's credentials will take place only after all application materials are received. Decisions are released in writing on a rolling basis.
*SEVIS stands for: Student/Exchange Visitor Information System
