Immediately upon confirming (International admitted students only) | We strongly recommend that admitted first-year winter entry international students submit their I-20/DS-2019 applications as soon as possible after confirming their enrollment to the University. Doing so will allow them sufficient time to receive their I-20/DS-2019s, obtain their student visas at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate abroad, and arrive in the U.S. to start their programs. Applying later may cause visa application delays and impact their ability to start their program as planned. |

January 5 | First day of winter quarter. |
Please note that admissions decisions may be impacted by a failure to submit the CSS Profile for those applicants who have indicated on their application that they are interested in receiving financial aid.
