Acceptance of documents for distance learning deadlines. How to apply to the university

On the eve of admission to Russian higher schools, many future students are interested in the question - until what date to submit documents to the university.

There is a clear schedule for the deadlines for submitting documents to universities, prescribed in the rules for admission, developed by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

Deadlines for submitting documents for budget places under the bachelor's and specialist's programs

The main part of applicants choosing bachelor's or specialist's programs will be able to start their admission from June 20. High school graduates will receive certificates of secondary education only on June 24–25, so in reality, on June 20, few people will carry documents to admission committee university. The main stream of graduates will go to apply only after the graduation party, that is, after June 25-26.

For applicants entering only on a general basis (according to the passing scores of the Unified State Examination, without entrance profile exams university), deadline submission of documents 26 July.

Applicants to faculties where additional creative tests are provided, for example, "journalism", "acting", "art history", design, etc., the deadlines for submitting documents are shortened from June 20 on July 7. Creative tests in all universities are held at the same time - approximately from 11 on 26 July. Find out the exact information on the website of a particular university. It happens that creative tests in two selected universities fell on the same day. Do not be afraid, there are reserve days for this.

Some Russian universities(for example, Moscow State University and MGIMO) conduct their own specialized exams. This year, the list of educational institutions that practice additional tests may expand.

When you submit documents, you should not immediately bring the original documents to the selection committee. At this stage, there is no need for them, and they will not affect the enrollment results in any way. Original documents will be needed after you are on the enrollment lists.

Terms of enrollment: until what date to submit documents to the university

The rules for admission to universities provide for two waves of admission to the bachelor's and specialist's programs.

  • First wave of enrollment provides for 80% filling budget places. In order to get into it, documents and a statement of consent to enrollment must be brought before August 1. The order for the enrollment of the first wave, as a rule, is already formed August 3rd and is freely available.
  • Second wave enrollment fills the remaining 20% ​​of budget places. Consent to enrollment and documents must be taken to the selection committee before August 6. Enrollment order appears 8 August.

Deadlines for submitting documents to the magistracy (budget places)

Master's degree is the next stage of higher education. After bachelor's degree, the student has the right to apply for a budget place in the university. The end of the specialist's program, unfortunately, does not provide for such an opportunity.

It is better to clarify the deadlines for submission at the selected university, since each educational institution has its own, but in any case, it will be necessary to submit documents no later than August 10.

Admission to the magistracy is always on a competitive basis. Entrance tests for each university are individual, so check the information on the websites of the educational institution. Universities are required to provide all information for applicants to the magistracy before June 1st.

Approximately at August 20th there will be enrollment orders. It should be noted that there are very few state-funded places in the master's program. And if you fail to get into the list of lucky people on the budget, then you will have the opportunity to enter on a contract basis (on a paid training). Bachelors who received Russian diplomas of higher education, can try to enter the master's program of foreign universities.


The Ministry of Education and Science in 2018 will continue to test new rules regarding the timing of enrollment in universities. The order of the Ministry of Education and Science No. 1147 was adopted back in 2016, on October 14. According to the text of the order, since 2017, new procedures for the admission of future bachelors, specialists and masters have been established. The order gives clear instructions to universities to post information on the timing of enrollment no later than October 1 of the new school year. In particular, the information should reflect the deadlines for correspondence students. In addition to these innovations, the ministry introduced such concepts as "consent to enrollment", but first things first.
