Some programs state specific deadline dates. Refer to the specific program descriptions given later in this catalogue and the table in the application instructions booklet. Spaces in high-demand programs may be filled quickly, and candidates who delay completion of their applications may thus be denied entrance. International applicants should allow an extra two months if a non-resident student visa will be required. The Office of Graduate Studies must receive a completed application form, the required fee, letters of recommendation, official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate records, a personal statement, and reports of all required examinations before an application is complete and is sent to the department for consideration.
Candidates are responsible for the completion of their applications.
International applicants must pay in U. S. currency. Applications will not be processed until the appropriate application fee is received. The fee is neither waivable nor refundable. We must receive an official copy of required test results, submitted by the Educational Testing Service, before the application can be considered complete and be processed. Standardized examinations should be taken at least six weeks prior to the program s application deadline to allow time for scores to be sent to us.
