    When will I receive an admission decision? When and how will I be notified?

    Your admissions counselor will notify you when your file is complete and ready for review. A typical admission decision will be made within one week and students are contacted by their admission counselor. The timeline for admission decisions varies by academic program, as some programs have specific deadlines or require an admissions committee to review files.

  •  

    Can I visit campus?

    Visiting campus is an important step in the college selection process. Graduate students need to see and hear, in person, about the opportunities a school has to offer.
