The BSW program on the Indianapolis, Richmond, and Gary campuses uses a rolling admissions policy. These campuses accept applications throughout the year.  However, applications must be received by November 1^st on the Indianapolis campus and December 1^st on the Gary and Richmond campuses to be considered for the Spring semester and by May 15^th to be considered for the Fall semester.  Applications received after those dates may be reviewed depending upon availability for spaces in the program but are not guaranteed review for the following semester. 

 On the Bloomington campus, to ensure consideration for fall enrollment in the junior classes, sophomores should apply by the priority deadline of April 1.
