Deadlines
FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS:
Deadline for fall admission: February 15.
The History Graduate Committee begins looking at applications on
March 1 (or before if possible). Applicants should have ALL their
material in to the UNCW Graduate School by February 15 as it takes two
weeks or more to process them. The Graduate School does not send an
application to the History Graduate Committee until the application is
complete. So applicants should stay on top of their application and
ensure that ALL transcripts, scores, letters of recommendations and such
have been sent in to the UNCW Graduate School (NOT the History
Department) by Feb. 15 or earlier if at all possible. While the HIstory
Graduate Committee will continue to review applications that come in
after March 1, failure to have this material in on time could easily
result in your application not being reviewed by the History Graduate
Committee for many more weeks. It could also result in an applicant
being turned down for lack of space in the program.
Deadline for spring admission: October 15.
Please see the above information. All applications for Spring entry
should be fully completed and in to the UNCW Graduate School by Oct. 15
as they take about two weeks to process. The History Graduate Committee
will begin looking at Spring application on November 1.
Please note: These are hard deadlines . All required forms, scores, papers and application materials MUST be completed and in to the UNCW Graduate School by the above dates as it takes about two weeks for the UNCW Graduate Program to process fully an application. Please manage your time and the mail accordingly.
