    Why Was I Not Accepted Into the Program?

    The Admissions Office considers all application materials provided when reviewing an application. All admission requirements must be met and application materials received by the deadline to be admitted into a program. If you are missing application materials, submit materials late, or do not meet all of the requirements, you will not be admitted into the program.

    Options and Next Steps to Appeal an Admission Decision

    If you believe you met the admission requirements by the application deadline, you have the right to appeal your admission decision. You have until the later of the following dates to appeal:

    • Forty-five days after the date on the letter or email that provided notification of unmet admission requirements
    • By the program application deadline

    Application deadlines, materials and requirements may differ by program and can change from term to term. Review your program's web page for details. If you did not submit all your materials by the stated deadline, you may not submit an appeal. However, you may reapply during the next available application period.

    To submit an appeal, complete the Program Admission/Petition Appeal Form.
