Enrollment Confirmation Deadline

Transfer admission may not be available in every program each year. Additional academic records or course descriptions may be requested during the review process.
International applicants do not use a separate university-wide admission cycle solely because they are applying from outside Korea.
Undergraduate applicants follow the appropriate Early Consideration, Regular Admission, or Transfer Admission timeline. Graduate applicants follow the deadlines established for their intended graduate program.
However, international applicants should allow additional time for document certification, translation where required, academic-record verification, and enrollment documentation.
INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENT DEADLINE
June 25, 2027
Where additional international enrollment documents are required after admission, the relevant deadline will be provided with the student’s admission and onboarding instructions.
Graduate admission schedules vary by degree, academic program, and intended entry term.
Applicants should confirm the deadline established by their intended program before preparing an application.
For programs following JANU’s standard Fall 2027 graduate calendar:
PRIORITY DEADLINE
December 15, 2026
Applicants seeking full consideration for university or program-based funding are encouraged to submit by the priority deadline where applicable.
STANDARD DEADLINE
February 1, 2027
DECISION PERIOD
Most standard-cycle graduate decisions are released between:
March 15 – April 16, 2027
Some graduate and professional programs maintain earlier deadlines, additional selection stages, or separate application periods.
JANU Athletics recruitment may begin before the university’s formal undergraduate application cycle.
Prospective student-athletes may communicate with coaches, undergo athletic evaluation, receive recruitment materials, or indicate an intended commitment before submitting their formal university application.
A recruitment decision or athletic commitment does not constitute admission to JANU.
Recruited student-athletes must complete the university application assigned to their admission pathway and satisfy JANU’s academic admission and eligibility requirements before enrollment.
RECRUITED FOR FALL 2027?
Your JANU coaching staff and the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will provide the application cycle and documentation requirements applicable to your recruitment status.
Some scholarships, grants, research awards, and other forms of financial support require materials or applications separate from the admission application.
Applicants seeking financial assistance should review funding requirements early and should not assume that submitting an admission application automatically completes every financial-support process.
UNDERGRADUATE PRIORITY FUNDING REVIEW
February 5, 2027
GRADUATE FUNDING
Deadlines vary by program, appointment, award, and research funding source.
STUDENT-ATHLETE AID
Information is provided through the relevant varsity program and university financial-support process.
Applicants are responsible for ensuring that required application materials have been received by the appropriate deadline.
The JANU Applicant Portal allows applicants to review their application status and identify materials that have been received or remain outstanding.
Documents submitted close to a deadline may require processing time before appearing as received in the portal.
JANU may contact applicants when clarification, verification, or additional documentation is required.
Submitting the application form does not necessarily mean an application is complete.
Admission dates are established for each entering class and may change between application cycles.
Program-specific deadlines, additional requirements, interviews, portfolio reviews, auditions, or other selection procedures may differ from the university-wide dates shown on this page.
Applicants are responsible for reviewing the requirements applicable to their intended entry year and program.
Choose your admission pathway, prepare your materials, and submit your application before the deadline that applies to you.
