Application Deadline

International students can begin studies at SRU in the fall (August) and spring (January) terms. The deadline for submission of ALL application materials for fall admission is May 1.  For spring admission, it is October 1. Due to visa and immigration regulatory changes resulting in much lengthier student visa processing, it is suggested that the admission process be completed as early as possible.
