Application Deadlines | Undergraduate Admissions | The University of Vermont(title)

UVM welcomes applications from students of diverse backgrounds. Through a holistic admissions review, we select students with potential for academic success who will contribute to our community.

See below for all application options and deadlines. Students should submit their Common App or Coalition App by the stated application deadline. Applications received after deadlines will be considered on a space-available basis. Other supplemental materials to complete the application should arrive by this priority completion deadline. Applications completed after this date are not guaranteed a decision by the posted decision release date.
