Quick tips

  • The GA Application will be sent to the unit/department/program selected; thus, separate applications must be submitted if applying for multiple positions and units.

  • Timing of decisions and funding availability vary among departments and units.

  • Conditionally admitted students due to GPA reasons are not eligible for funding.

  • Admission acceptance letters do not include an offer of funding, nor is it implied. You must apply separately for financial support (graduate assistantships, scholarships or Financial Aid). Students will be notified separately of any funding they might receive.
