NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS:

Many graduate programs require that separate program application materials be sent to them directly in addition to the Graduate School application. Also, some programs admit for only one term during the academic year.

If you have not already done so, you should immediately contact your major program or visit their web site for information about financial aid, start dates, deadlines, and any other additional program application materials you may be required to submit. Programs that require such materials will not consider the Graduate School application for admission until these materials have been received by them.

Please Note: The application fee cannot be waived or deferred, and is not refundable.

In order to ensure timely processing of your application for admission, we encourage you to send all of your transcripts/credentials in one envelope. You may mail photocopies or fax us a legible copy of your transcript/credentials. If you do fax or send a photocopy, do not send official trancripts/credentials at this time; if you are admitted, we will notify you then that you must request official or certified transcripts/credentials to be sent directly from your institution(s). Transcripts/credentials can be faxed to 612-625-6002 or mailed to:

Graduate School Office of Admissions
University of Minnesota
309 Johnston Hall
101 Pleasant St. SE
Minneapolis, MN 55455-0421

As soon as your application materials have been processed, you will receive notice via e-mail indicating that your application file is complete or if anything is missing.

If you are requesting readmission to obtain active status for graduating, you should first contact the Office of Graduate Student Services and Progress at 612-625-3490 (316 Johnston Hall).
