Use the deadline planner to turn a university or scholarship closing date into an earlier action date, then connect tests, document work, credential evaluation and visa preparation around it.
The published closing date is not your start date
Language-test results, recommendation letters, translations, APS or credential evaluation can take weeks or months. Work backwards from the slowest dependency.
Different records have different clocks
A programme application, scholarship, housing application and visa process may all use separate deadlines. Keep each source and intake label beside the date.
Recheck every intake
Do not carry a 2026 closing date into a 2027 plan. Deadline pages should be refreshed by application round and archived when the relevant intake closes.
