A student who does not pass the
EPT at the required level of proficiency
must retake it at his or her own expense
until the required level of proficiency is
achieved. The ALP may regulate how
often the examination is taken.
It is strongly recommended that
students enroll in an appropriate ALP
course if they have not achieved the
required proficiency after the first examination.
For more information on the
administration of the EPT, please contact
the Graduate Student Services Office.
APPLICATION FEES
A nonrefundable application processing
fee of $70 is required of all degree and
nondegree applicants who apply using a
hard-copy or online application. Failure
to submit the application fee can delay
processing of application materials.
GRADUATE ADMISSION
CALENDAR
Applicants are admitted twice yearly, for
the fall and spring semesters.
• Fall admission application deadlines:
December 1, for Ph.D., Eng.Sc.D.,
and M.S. leading to Ph.D. programs,
and applicants to the M.S. program
in financial engineering. February 15,
for professional, M.S. only, and nondegree
applicants.
• Spring admission application
deadlines: October 1, for all departments
and degree levels.
Applicants who wish to be considered

should file complete applications
for fall admission.
ONE-TERM SPECIAL STUDENT
STATUS
Individuals who meet the eligibility
requirements, who are U.S. citizens or
U.S. permanent residents, and who wish
to take courses for enrichment, may
secure faculty approval to take up to
two graduate-level courses for one term
only as a one-term special student. This
option is also appropriate for individuals
who missed applications deadlines.
Applications for special student status
are available at the Office of Graduate
Student Services and must be submitted
during the first week of the fall or spring
semester.
If a one-term special student subsequently
wishes either to continue taking
classes the following term or to become
a degree candidate, a formal application
must be made through the Office of
Graduate Student Services.
