Critical reminder: Paid ECDs (Enrollment Confirmation Deposits) guarantee admission for new students

If an applicant pays the ECD after your offer acceptance deadline, the applicant becomes an enrolled student. To prevent a student from accepting your offer and paying the ECD past your stated deadline, you will need to manually decline the offer in MyGrad before the student submits the ECD payment.

Instructions for declining an offer are located in MGP Help in the section titled Admissions: Conveying admissions decisions to the Graduate School. If you have questions regarding this process, please contact uwgrad@uw.edu.
