Change in Admission/Denial Process Beginning Fall 2024 

The process for students applying to graduate programs will change for the Fall 2024 application cycle (note: applications are currently open). All applications will be reviewed using WebAdmit and admission decisions will be made in WebAdmit.
Please note: applications will no longer be emailed to the program director/coordinator. Bachelor’s degrees will be validated, and the overall GPA will be identified and document in WebAdmit, however the GPA calculation of the last 60 units will only be completed upon request.
To assist with these changes, please review:

1. Business Process Guide (BPG)
2. A training video for the electronic application review using WebAdmit is here 
3. Book a WebAdmit training session via Zoom here
