Application Deadline

Students in the Clinical and Translational Rehabilitation Health Sciences (CTRH) program typically begin their studies in the fall of each academic year. Admission is on a rolling basis, so applicants are encouraged to apply early.

Rolling admission: this means you may apply any time before August 1 for fall term admissions (June 1 for international applicants) and December 15 for spring term admissions (October 15 for international applicants). These are the dates by which your applications must be complete, meaning that all required documentation must be received in the Graduate School by these dates.

However, applicants who wish to be considered for merit-based financial aid (graduate assistantships/fellowships), please be aware of the merit-based financial aid deadlines by which all applicant materials must be received by the Graduate School: Fall (August) Term: February 15, Spring (January) Term: November 15, Summer (May) Term: April 15.
