Freshman Admissions: Timeline
At UT Dallas, applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis up until the regular application deadline. The following is a general timeline of our admissions process.
Freshman Application Dates (Domestic & International)
| August 1 | CommonApp and ApplyTexas applications open |
| December 1 | Priority Admission Application Deadline* |
| May 1 | Regular Application |
Submit your application and supporting documents.
Follow the steps to apply as a freshman. Your application will be considered complete and ready for review after you:
- Submit your application through Common App or ApplyTexas.
- Submit your official transcripts.
- SAT or ACT scores or indicate you elect to have your application reviewed without test scores.
- Pay or waive your application fee, and
- Submit any Supplemental documents, while not required, are used for admission and scholarship review purposes.
Your completed application will be reviewed.
The admission office will review your entire completed application file before rendering an admission decision. You are encouraged to submit your documents early. This process can take four to six weeks; however, it might take longer during peak times. You can check on your application status or any missing documentation in the Orion Applicant Center inside Galaxy.
You will receive an admission decision.
Once an admission decision is made, your application status will be updated in your Galaxy Applicant Center. A decision letter will also be mailed to the address listed on your application, as well as emailed to your UT Dallas email address.
If admitted, you will need to complete the steps after admission for freshmen before you can register for classes.
