Free Graduate Application Week

Submit your grad application for free April 3–7, 2023. 

Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week is celebrated each year during the first week of April and this year it will be observed April 3–7, 2023, to celebrate Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation week.

If you have started an application but have not submitted it, please sign in to complete your application and submit it for free by April 7.

If you have not started an application, feel free to start your application now and have it submitted by April 7.

Please note the following:

• Free Application Week will begin on April 3 at 12 a.m. and end on April 7 at 11:59 p.m.
• Only applications for the Fall 2023 term are eligible for the free application waiver, as summer applications will be closed as of April 3.
• When completing your application, you will be prompted to submit the application fee. Please bypass this step and submit your application without submitting the fee. We will not refund any submitted application fees.
• Any applications submitted and paid for prior to April 3 or after April 7 will not be refunded.
• Please check your program application deadline, as some application deadlines may have passed, and some may be soon approaching. You can view all graduate programs and deadline information here: https://www.nccu.edu/academics/graduate-programs.
• The deadline for international applications for the Fall 2023 term is April 1 and will have passed prior to free application week. 

If you have additional questions about deadlines or program-specific information or if you would like to speak to one of our admissions specialists, you can send us an email at [email protected] or call our office at 919-530-7396.
