Dear Graduate Program Director,

The GPD Brief provides important information regarding deadlines, events, administrative updates, and more. Feel free to forward this message to other faculty and staff in your department who may find this information helpful. Previous Briefs can be found here!

The Graduate School cannot accept graduate student applications once the deadline has passed. We recommend you urge applicants to submit prior to the posted deadlines as those that wait are more likely to have delays in registration and late fees, as well as you needing to review applications last minute.

International Students 101 |
Here is some important information regarding our international students!
|
- Full Admission Requirement: International students must be fully admitted or denied admission to their program. Federal regulations prohibit institutions from issuing I-20 forms to students who are conditionally or provisionally admitted.
-
Full-Time, In-Person Program Requirement: Students must be fully admitted to a full-time, on-campus, in-person, degree-seeking program, as mandated by federal regulations. Immigration documents cannot be issued for online, part-time, or certificate programs.
-
Documentation for Graduate Assistants: If hired as a Graduate Assistant, international students must provide valid documentation that verifies their identity and employment eligibility. For more information, please refer to the Graduate Assistant and the International Center.
