How do I check the status of my application with the Graduate School?
There is not an online option for you to
check the status of your application. Our system is set up in a
way that you are kept up to date on your application through automated
emails, sent to the email address you provided, once each of your
materials is confirmed with the Graduate School. After your
application is complete with our office, we then have to wait for the
department to make their admission recommendation. You will need
to contact the department directly with all questions concerning their
admission recommendation and the time frame in which it will be made.
The contact information for all areas of study can be found by visiting
the GS website --

How can I pay my application fee? I am unable to log back in to my account.
After closing the online application, there
is not an online option for you to pay the application fee. You
