What happens after I submit my Graduate application?
Between the point at which you submit an application until you finally enroll in your classes, your admission application goes through the following stages:
  • The Admissions Coordinator (AC) or assistant in the Graduate School creates a file which remains “incomplete” until all required documentation is received.
  • Once the file has sufficient required material for consideration (Transcripts, letters, GRE scores, etc), it is then submitted to the department to which the prospective student is applying.
  • The AC then notifies the applicant that the application has been received and forwarded to the department.
  • The department convenes its admissions committee to review the applications. The committee makes its recommendations to the department chair, who then generates the “Admissions Status Report” form (ASR).
  • This committee is made up of faculty members, who are the best persons to determine whether or not an applicant should be admitted to the programs.
  • On the ASR, the department chair makes a recommendation for approval or disapproval, signs the form and sends it to the Academic Dean.
  • The Academic Dean makes a recommendation to the Graduate Dean for approval or disapproval, signs the form, and sends it to the Graduate Dean.
  • The Graduate Dean makes a recommendation for approval or disapproval.
  • The Admissions Coordinator in the graduate school then sends the applicant a letter notifying her or him of the admissions status.
