After you have paid the application fee, you will be required to enter information for three referees including an institutional email address. Your referees will automatically receive a notification email that they have been requested to complete a reference for your application, along with instructions to submit their reference letter in the application system.
The Graduate Admissions Committee will not review any reference letters that are in addition to the three required for your application. If you need to change your referees, please get in touch with your program’s graduate team.
Referee Reminders: If you need to send a reminder email to your existing referees, you can do so through your applicant portal after submitting your application (paying the application fee).
Additional documentation: In some cases, applicants may choose to include additional documentation to their application file. These documents should be attached to your Curriculum Vitae (CV) in a single pdf.
A note on transcripts: Though we do not require official transcripts at the time of application, in order to properly assess your eligibility for the program transcripts provided should be clear and legible. This includes any grades/degrees earned as well as full course titles.
