At the time of application, students must disclose the final disposition of any past or pending judicial proceedings and submit any pertinent documentation.

Once the Graduate School has received an applicant's transcripts and test scores, the application will be referred to the appropriate graduate program director. The department will then review the application, make an admission decision, and notify The Graduate School. The Graduate School will send official admissions decisions through the applicant's application portal.
