Important Deadlines

Priority Application Dates

University of Idaho has “rolling admission.” This means that there is not a hard deadline for receiving an application and required materials.

However, international students face additional steps and need to allow for submitting required documents for review for your I-20 Form, being issued an I-20, registering for classes, applying for your U.S. student visa, making travel arrangements, etc.

In light of this, please submit a complete application no later than three months prior to the beginning of your desired start term. This will give you time to work through your steps and feel prepared for your arrival to University of Idaho.
