Graduate Application Review

Upon receipt of all required application materials, your file will be forwarded to the appropriate graduate program for review. The program reviews all complete files for admission or denial based on published program requirements.

A formal acceptance or denial is sent to the applicant by the Dean of Graduate and Extended Learning.

International applicants have an additional step in the review process. Your application file will also be reviewed by International Student Services who will determine if an I-20 may be issued for a student visa.
