Application Deadlines + Timeline
ISD conducts a holistic review of all applications on a rolling basis throughout the year and admits students for each term: Fall, Winter, and Spring/Summer.
Regular Admission: Students are strongly encouraged to apply by the regular deadline for the term they wish to enter, which will enable them to be considered for ISD financial aid and scholarship opportunities.
Early Decision: Students who would like a decision sooner may apply by this deadline (will be considered for ISD financial aid and scholarship opportunities).
Extended Consideration: Applications will be accepted up to this deadline, but may not be considered for ISD financial aid or scholarship opportunities. Note there is an earlier deadline for on-campus international students in order to process the necessary documentation.
Students in the GM TEP program have a different application process and deadlines that can be found here.
