Application Process

*Applicants to the PharmD program or the Law JD program do not use the GradApp system for application. Please use the appropriate program link to access those applications.

**If you are applying to multiple programs, you must complete and pay for each application.

Awaiting a Decision:

• Once submitted, your application and electronic documents are available for your department of interest to review.
• The Graduate College does not make initial admission decisions. Departments have varying timelines for review and the Graduate College must await an official admission recommendation from your department of interest.
• If recommended for admission, the Graduate College will notify you via same day via email. We then perform a final verification to affirm that minimum admissions requirements to the University of Arizona have been met. If additional documents are necessary we will request them via email at this time.

After Admission – All students:

• Admitted students will receive same day email notification of formal admission.
• Login to GradApp to accept (or decline) your admission and view your official Certificate of Admission.
• View the Status field on your Certificate of Admission document. The admissions process for students with a "Complete" status is completed.
• Students with “Subject To” status must still submit necessary documents. Please refer to our Subject To page for more information.

After Admission – International students only:

• After admission, students will receive an email from International Student Services (ISS) with instructions on how to request an I-20/DS-2019.
• Students should review Financial Guarantee requirements to determine the amount of funding they will be required to show.
• ISS will review the request and email the I-20/DS-2019 directly to the student.
• For more information on the I-20/DS-2019 request process, applying for a visa, online check-in requirements and travel, check the New Graduate Students page on the ISS website.
