Application Details
Start Date:Fall and Spring
Application Deadline:Trinity Western sets a Fall Early Admission target of 1 March and a Spring Regular Admission deadline of 1 November for Canadian domestic applicants, with Fall Regular Admission continuing on a rolling, space-available basis after 1 March and final high-school transcripts due by 1 August; TWU prints these as recurring annual dates without a specific year. TWU's international (non-US) admissions page states no deadline of its own and refers applicants back to the same general page, so no international-specific closing date is published; TWU does separately publish Fall (15 January early, then rolling) and Spring (15 November) dates for the distinct US-citizen applicant category. Individual graduate programs set their own separate application windows. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
