Applicants who have submitted their application and wish to change their admission term or major/concentration may submit a new application and associated application fee.

    All admits must provide official transcripts.

    All international transcripts will require a course-by-course evaluation by an approved third-party credential evaluation agency unless a graduate program has established an alternative credential evaluation procedure that is approved by the graduate school.

    • If currently enrolled in courses, an incomplete transcript must be submitted before the posted deadline.
