Deadlines

Deadline(s)
Early application is strongly encouraged.

February 15, 2013 is the priority deadline for submitting application materials and securing your position for entrance in the fall semester of that same year. Non-priority admission will be considered for those who apply after this date. However, the school often has more qualified candidates than available space. As a result, non-priority applicants cannot be assured of admission.

Based on the recommendation of the Admissions Committee, late applicants may be placed on a waiting list, or may be admitted to another concentration area. Application files are not reviewed until all materials have been received. It is the responsibility of the student to follow-up with staff to assure all application materials have been received and that the application is ready for review. Incomplete applications will not be considered for admission. Call Lawrence M. Montaño, Administrative Assistant at (505) 454-3310 or e-mail socialwork@nmhu.edu for application status.
