• November 1st:
  Recommended submission date for materials required by UW Office of Graduate Admissions for international applicants. Materials will be processed if submitted after this date, but delays may occur.

Visiting Scholars

• Visiting Scholar applications are accepted year round. Decisions on applications are made monthly. Due to delays in visa processing time, however, Visiting Scholar applicants are advised to apply at least six months before they intend to arrive in the United States. Assessment of applications takes approximately four weeks from date of receipt, and may take longer if the application is incomplete.
