Important Dates
Number of Sessions Each Year
The IEP has 5 sessions each year beginning in January, March, July, August, and October. In spring and fall, our sessions are 7.5 weeks long. In summer, students can apply for 4-week July session. Shorter (4-week) programs may be available at other times by special arrangement. Also, we are happy to make arrangements for group programs. Please contact us at iep@uga.edu if you have questions.
Full time-students study 18 hours each week. Part-time students study between 4 and 16 hours a week.
Application Deadlines
We strongly recommend that students applying from outside of the United States apply 8 weeks before their program start date so that they have plenty of time to get their visas. However, we will accept applications up to 4 weeks before the program start date, but if you apply late we cannot guarantee that you will get your visa on time.
