You can try simplifying your search criteria. For example, try searching only for Arizona instead of University of Arizona in the school name field.

If you still cannot find your institution, it may not be in our database of known institutions. In that case, your search results will be followed by the following text: "If no institutions match your institution, please search again or add a school." The words "add a school" will be hyper-linked. You'll need to click the link, and you'll then be presented with a form to enter the information for that school. You'll need to fill out ALL fields for the school, including start and end dates, as well as degree date if you received a degree.

To apply to separate programs or a dual degree program, you will have to submit two separate applications. However, you will not have to enter your personal information and previous schools more than once. This information is part of your profile, which gets submitted along with every application that you submit. You can work on multiple applications at the same time. On the menu at your left, under 'My Applications', click the 'Start a new application' link at any time to begin a new application. This will not affect the applications that you have already started.

Many programs require you to submit an additional application to the department that administers the program. Be sure to contact the department to make sure that you are fullfilling all of the application requirements.

To guarantee that you receive the email that will be sent to you, you should configure your email program to accept all emails from gradadmissions@grad.arizona.edu. If you do not know how to do that and you don't receive your email within a few minutes after submitting the form, be sure to check that it hasn't been put in your SPAM or JUNK folder.

We have received occasional reports of emails from our system not being delivered by overseas mail servers. In all cases, this has been the result of the configuration of the receiving networks and, unfortunately, not in our power to remedy.

Contact the Graduate College by sending an email to gradadmissions@grad.arizona.edu.

Contact your department of interest and the Financial Aid office. The Graduate College sponsors many different programs but all decisions about funding are done at the departmental level. Only your department can tell you their particular funding options and what may be available to you. The Financial Aid office can assist domestic students with student loans and grants only after a FAFSA form has been completed.

The Graduate College administers a handful of Funding Opportunities. Current UA students can browse many more opportunities at the UA's Scholarship Universe.

Applicants may log back in to GradApp to check their application status at any time.  Once your application is in our system, it will be visible to your program of interest for review.  The Graduate College will await an admissions decision from your program of interest.  Departmental review timelines vary, however, the Graduate College will send applicants an email with the departmental decision the very same day it is entered.  After a applicant is recommended, the department should forward any official transcripts they have received to the Graduate College.  The Graduate College will notify applicants if any items are missing only after the program has recommended admission.

The best way is to contact the department you intend to study with. They will determine if your file is complete and when it will be presented to their admissions committee for review.

All transcripts uploaded to GradApp to complete your application are considered unofficial.   If your program of interest requests official transcripts be sent directly to their office, the department will forward those official transcripts to the Graduate College if you are recommended for admission. 

If you are admitted "Subject To" providing the Graduate College with final official transcripts with your degree posted, you may ask your institution or clearinghouse to send official electronic transcripts to:  transcripts@grad.arizona.edu, or mail/deliver paper documents to:  Graduate College, University of Arizona, Administration 322, PO Box 210066, Tucson, AZ 85721-0066
