Deadlines vary for domestic and international students, and also by department. We encourage applicants to contact academic departments and programs for additional information. Click here for a list of programs with contact information.
In general, applications for degree seekers should be completed and submitted no later than 5 weeks prior to the first day of class. However, some programs have earlier deadlines. Degree seeking applicants are encouraged to contact the program coordinator for specific program application deadlines and further support materials.
Some programs have application deadlines or restrict admission to fall semester only. Please contact your proposed program of study directly for complete details and any questions you have about specific support materials. Your application will remain active for one calendar year beyond the initial entrance date you’ve selected on your application. However, departments and programs reserve the right to deny deferred admission because of limited space and/or resources. If you want to defer enrollment to a later term, you must request and receive approval for such action from your department or program.
Admission for faculty, staff, and employees of Clemson University is subject to the same deadline requirements and department approval as all other applicants. No member of the faculty or staff who has a rank higher than instructor or its equivalent may be considered as a candidate for an advanced degree in the academic department where they’re employed.
