Admissions

Graduate admissions is a collaborative effort between SGPS and the graduate program.  SGPS maintains the graduate application service within the Student Center environment and performs an initial preliminary assessment for all submitted applications.  SGPS also provides staffing dedicated to helping applicants with any application-related questions.  

Programs review the SGPS-assessed applications and make decisions on who to admit and not admit to their program. They also determine program-specific requirements and setup such as deadlines to apply, required documents and additional information collected from the applicant.
