Admission applications and required admission documents must be received by the Office of the Graduate College by the published deadline.  Required documents may be mailed to the Office of the Graduate College or submitted online through this website.  Some programs require specific forms to be used when submitting references and essays, and the specific requirements for each program vary.  Prospective students should check the following website for specific admission requirements and information related to the applicant's program of interest:  http://www.gradcollege.txstate.edu/Prospect_Students/Pgms_Apps.html.

Some programs have earlier deadlines and adhere to those deadlines, while other programs are more flexible with their deadlines, and applications for those programs will continue to be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, with no guarantees for admission for those who complete the application process after the deadline.  Deadlines may be reviewed at the above web link or at http://www.gradcollege.txstate.edu/Prospect_Students/Pgms_Apps.html.
