Applications and supporting materials for all programs are submitted electronically through the online portal on the SGS website. Applications may be submitted at any time, but early application is encouraged to ensure full consideration and eligibility for funding support. Deadlines for specific programs are detailed in our program listings. Most students commence their programs in September, but many GAUs also accept students at other times of the year, particularly in January and May. Additional information should be obtained from the relevant GAU.
Some GAU's require applicants to submit WES ICAP evaluations in place of official transcripts. Please visit our program listings for application requirements of specific graduate programs. To facilitate admissions and remove barriers for applicants from select, Trusted Partners, the SGS has adopted a policy whereby a GAU who presently uses a WES requirement to evaluate candidates may petition SGS for a blanket exemption for targeted groups.
Some GAU’s require applicants to take the Graduate Record Examination. Applicants who have already written this examination should submit their scores. Information about the examination may be obtained from Educational Testing Service.
