1. You will receive a letter from the graduate school indicating receipt of your application.  This letter should arrive soon after you submit the application and official/unofficial transcripts.

2. Once the graduate school forwards your information to the department, it may take a few weeks to evaluate your transcripts, send your application through the admissions committee, come to a decision, and notify the graduate school.  Soon thereafter, you will receive a letter from the graduate school indicating whether or not you have been recommended for admission and if so what the status of your admission is.

3. In late spring we will award assistantships and work study positions to our current students and to those prospective students who have already sent final transcripts and GRE scores. We understand that many incoming students will not yet have final transcripts at this point. Beginning early in  the summer, we will award remaining assistantships and work study positions as we receive final transcripts and/or G.R.E. scores.  The earlier you complete your application, the better your chance of receiving one of these awards.

4. The department will notify those to whom we wish to award assistantships and work study positions soon after we receive your transcripts and GRE scores.

5. At any time during this process, we welcome emails, phone calls, or campus visits.  Direct your queries to the faculty coordinator of the graduate program in English, Dr. Julia Guernsey-Shaw.
