Application deadlines and start dates

Upcoming cycles UAH publishes. A date without a year on the school's page is noted rather than guessed.

Students must also be admitted to UAH first; UAH's Spring 2027 general application submission deadline is December 15, 2026.

ABSNcheck summarizes requirements that schools publish on their own websites, with a link to each source and the date we last verified it. Schools change requirements, sometimes contradict themselves, and make individual decisions. Results show whether you meet published minimums; they are not an admission decision or a guarantee, and are not official advice from any school. Always confirm requirements with each program before you apply or enroll in a course.
