Applications for Admission submitted to University of Idaho, Graduate Admissions Office are processed in the following manner:
|
| Step 1. Receipt of Application |
| |
As soon as an application is received at the Graduate Admissions Office, the staff examines it to determine whether it is complete, includes all required documents and the full payment.
|
| Step 2. Verification of Documents |
| |
Obtaining the appropriate documents is critical to the Graduate Admission evaluation process. If the Graduate Admissions Office determines that all the required documents are present, the evaluation will proceed.
If any document and/or information is missing, the Graduate Admissions Office immediately issues a "Document Request" asking for the missing documents and/or information. The file is placed on hold until all the required documents and/or information are received.
|
If the Graduate Admissions Office decides to verify the documents with the institution(s) that issued them, copies of the documents will be sent to the institution(s) with a request for verification. The Graduate Admissions Office notifies applicants when their documents are sent for verification. All such files are placed on hold until the Graduate Admissions Office receives a written response from the institution itself. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Every applicant will receive an email (if provided) or letter indicating when their application packet is sent for the departmental review. This email/letter also provides contact information for the department.
