Application Deadlines

Last update: August, 2011


TUJ's rolling-admissions procedures allow students to apply year-round. Students can apply for admission to TUJ two or more semesters in advance. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to secure their enrollment for a future semester. Applicants typically receive an admissions decision in two to three weeks. Acceptance is valid for two years.

Applicants who need a student visa must submit all student visa application documents by the final deadline. If applying close to the deadline, applicants will need to submit all visa application documents before they receive their admissions decision.
