All admission materials must be received and processed by the Graduate School before your file is forwarded to the department for review. Incomplete files will not be reviewed, and it is your responsibility to make sure all materials have been received by the Graduate School. Applying online allows you to track your status. Once the department has reviewed the application and made a recommendation, the Dean of the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies reviews your file and admits or denies admission to a graduate program. You will be notified of the decision by letter at that time .
