2008 - 2009 Application Date Reminders

* All applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible - up to twelve months before the requested entry date. The application and all official supporting documents must be submitted by the posted deadlines below for the requested entry term. Applications received or completed after the posted deadlines may not be processed for admission into the requested term due to space or time limitations and may be offered admission in the next available term.

Florida Gulf Coast University aims to promptly notify students of their admission status.

Students interested in applying for Financial Aid and Housing should also be aware of priority deadlines that exist.

***Students applying to one of FGCU’s Limited Access Programs (Athletic Training, Nursing, Professional Golf Management concentration, Music) should verify separate application requirements and deadlines with each program. Information on the programs is listed below. ***
