Early application is encouraged so applicants can receive their decisions well before the time they wish to enroll. Admission decisions are made by the Graduate Admissions Committee for each degree or certificate program. This committee is composed of faculty members from the relevant department. Membership on the committees varies, depending on the academic program. Once your file is complete and has been reviewed by the Graduate Admissions Committee, a decision letter will be mailed to you.
Admission is for entry in a specific program or status and for a specific semester.
If you are admitted for one program or status, you may enter a different one only by requesting approval of the Graduate Admissions Committee. If you wish to defer enrollment to a future semester, you must request this in writing by the deadline for the desired semester of entry. There is no provision for temporary or trial admission pending completion of the application . However, if your file is not complete by the deadline, you may request consideration for the following semester. Incomplete application files are retained for a maximum of one year.
