Application deadlines at Eastern Washington University have been moved up for the 2011 school years.
New freshmen applications for the fall 2011 quarter will not be accepted past May 15, and new transfer applications for the fall 2011 quarter will not be accepted past July 1. Applications remain available for next year's winter and spring quarters.
EWU president Rodolfo Arevalo said the deadline change would allow the university to better manage resources in the face of state budget cuts.
"Eastern is taking this step to ensure the university's capacity is sufficient to ensure our commitment to academic excellence," he said.
To date, freshmen applications at Eastern are up by 19 percent from the same period a year ago, and transfer applications are up by 35 percent. The university is coming off two consecutive years of record enrollment, with 10,750 full-time equivalent students on campus to start the current academic year. EWU's cost of attendance remains the lowest of Washington's four-year state institutions.
