GCAC-305 Admission Requirements for International Students
Procedure
- International applicant submits a graduate application via the application portal on the Graduate School website.
- Prospective students with questions about eligibility may visit a website to get country-specific information.
- Graduate Enrollment Services (GES) reviews applications for eligibility while the graduate program begins the review process. There are three possible outcomes:
- The student is eligible for admission.
- A full review of eligibility is not conducted until the official transcripts are received.
- The official transcripts are not required until a program offer of admission has been accepted.
- Therefore, GES Admission coordinators do not make notes verifying eligibility. The indicator that GES has deemed an applicant eligible is the change of status from “POFA-Program Offer Accept” to “PEND-Pending DISSA.”
- The applicant is ineligible for admission.
- GES Admission coordinators attempt to quickly identify applicants with credentials that deem the applicant ineligible.
- GES Admission coordinators update the Graduate Admission Decision System status and notifies the applicant by U.S. postal mail.
- The applicant’s eligibility is in question.
- GES Admission coordinator places a notation in the Graduate Admission Decision System to inform the graduate program staff that further review is required if the graduate program decides to offer admission.
- If the plan wants to offer admission, the graduate plan reaches out to the GES Admission coordinator to discuss what information or credentials are still required to meet eligibility.
- The student is eligible for admission.
