Academic Year and Fall Semester applications must be RECEIVED by the deadline. Ideally, letters of reference and transcripts should arrive with the application or arrive separately at the Berkeley office before the deadline, but it is acceptable if letters and transcripts arrive at the Berkeley office up to one week past the deadline. After that time, your application will be considered incomplete.
Late applications that are 100% complete will be evaluated and considered as space permits.
NOTE: Rolling Admissions Policy for Summer Applicants!
IUP will review complete summer applications soon after they arrive at the IUP Berkeley office, rather than hold admissions after the summer program deadline (January 30, 2013). Admission is competitive, and it is recommended that you send in all of your summer application materials at least a couple of weeks before the official summer deadline due to limited space at IUP's language center. IUP admits summer applicants on a "first qualified applicant come, first qualified applicant served" basis. We will review summer applications through the summer deadline, and you may contact IUP Berkeley after the summer deadline to see if we're accepting late summer applications. Rolling admissions is not the policy for IUP's academic year/fall semester program admissions, however.
NOTE: Rolling Admissions Policy for Spring 2014 Applicants
IUP will review complete spring applications soon after they arrive at the IUP Berkeley office, rather than hold admissions after the spring program deadline (September 13, 2013). Admission is competitive, and it is recommended that you send in all of your spring application materials at least a couple of weeks before the official spring deadline due to limited space at IUP's language center. IUP admits spring applicants on a "first qualified applicant come, first qualified applicant served" basis. We will review spring applications through the spring deadline, and you may contact IUP Berkeley after the spring deadline to see if we're accepting late spring applications. Rolling admissions is not the policy for IUP's academic year/fall semester program admissions, however.
* Applicants have approximately two months from the Academic Year/Fall Semester program deadline to prepare for their 15-minute language interview over the phone with an IUP instructor. It is advisable that applicants make use of this two-month period to increase their chances of passing their interviews.
