- Review your academic background and, where applicable, your English test results;
- Make sure there is a faculty member willing to supervise you;
- Make a determination on departmental scholarships, fellowships or other funding;
- Make a decision on recommending you for admission to the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
All graduate students are registered students in the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.The CGPS makes the final decision on admission. Their admissions officer will:
- Review the recommendation submitted by your academic unit;
- Ensure all eligibility criteria have been met;
