Students send applications to graduate school. From other universities, the graduate school
receives transcripts. Additionally unrelated third parties provide letter of recommendation.
The graduate management admissions council (GMAC) provides GMAT scores. Upon
receipt of the above items, the graduate school prepares and application packet and enters
student’s name in the pending application file. An acknowledgement letter is sent to the
student. The graduate school sends the application packet to the admissions committee. The
admission committee reviews the student credentials. In most cases the students are
accepted. The committee sends the applicant a letter explaining the result of review. A
copy of the letter is also sent to the registrar who creates the student record in the registrar’s
system. The accepted student file is sent to the associate dean for financial aid review. The
associate dean keeps a list of available scholarships. Based on the review the students
interest and the scholarship criteria a financial aid award letter is prepared , which again is
sent to the student. Also, the controller’s office receives a copy so the proper bull can
eventually be sent to the student once he/she registers for classes. The associate dean the
updates the pending application file, closing out the student record. Each month, the
graduate school prepares a summary of how many applications were received, approved
