We do not require any paperwork or documents other than those described in the application packet. If any documentation is missing from your application, a letter will be mailed to you 7 to 10 days after your application arrives in our office. If we still don't receive the missing items, a letter will be sent again in 21 days, again in 60 days, and again in 90 days. If we don't receive any response to the 90-day letter, your file will be closed. Once your application is complete, it will be forwarded to the academic department that you have selected for evaluation.
Different departments have different evaluation processes.
We cannot predict how long the evaluation will take. Based on the recommendation of the academic department, a letter of admission or denial will then be sent to you immediately from the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. This is a good guideline as to the cost of a year's study along with living expenses. We recommend that international students bring all of the money that is available to them and deposit those funds in a bank here. They can then open a checking account and pay for their various expenses safely and conveniently.
