Life doesn’t follow a straight line, and that’s okay.
Short answer, yes. Take the time you need to explore, consider, and make the best choice for you. And if you're not sure, apply for the fall semester - there is no penalty or extra steps to take if you decide later that you'd rather start in spring.
If you're ready to dive right in without time for second thoughts, fall classes start on August 18, 2025. You still have time to get everything done and be ready to go!
If fall feels too soon, the spring semester starts in January of 2026. Take more time to explore, weigh your options, and be sure you're ready to take that next step.
