Below, you’ll find the various ways you can apply for admission as a first-year or transfer applicant, along with deadlines for special programs. Admission and financial aid applications, for both first-year and transfer applicants, that remain incomplete by the stated deadlines will be at a distinct disadvantage and likely will not be admitted.
First-year students can choose from four admission plans: Early Decision I (EDI), Early Action (EA), Early Decision II (EDII), or Regular Decision (RD). EARLY ACTION is our early, non-binding application option. EARLY DECISION II is an additional binding application option for applicants who are committed to attending UM if admitted but need more time to apply.* REGULAR DECISION is our final, non-binding application option.** *EDI and EDII applicants must complete and submit the Early Decision Agreement form, available through the Common Application. **Frost School of Music Regular Decision applicants must apply by December 1. Please follow the instructions for applying to the Frost School of Music.
