Graduate Students Admissions FAQ

We’re excited to review your application! You can check the status of your materials (whether they’ve been received) through your Application Status page. Once materials are received, the material will have a green check mark next to it.

You’ll receive an email confirmation letting you know you have a status update. You can then login to your application account and view the new status letter update linked on your account. If you don’t hear back after seeing your materials have been received, don’t hesitate to follow up with us.

When you decide to accept your offer, you’ll see a new form under your “Application Checklist” called Enrollment Decision Form. In order to move forward with your enrollment with us, you’ll need to let us know if you are enrolling. After you submit the form indicating your intention to enroll, you will receive your student account information via the email you provided to us. You’ll receive your email login, student account information, and instructions on how to access everything. Your next step then is to set up an advising appointment with your program director and enroll in classes!
