Winter 2023: Convey Admissions Decisions

Please be advised that Friday, January 6 is an important admission deadline for Winter Quarter.

The following actions should be taken in MGP no later than January 6.

• Defer – admitted for Winter 2023 deferring to a future quarter. See GEMS Graduate Advisor Guide for policies and procedures. (Prior to submitting Admission Petition type: Defer- specify qtr/yr/ offer of admission required, confirm student has withdrawn from all classes via the Student Database system (SDB) SRF-100 Student Schedule Inquiry.)
• Early Entry* – admitted to future quarter planning to begin Winter 2023. See GEMS Graduate Advisor Guide for policies and procedures.
• Change Offer Accepted to Declined Confirmed Status (Applicant paid ECD but will not attend).
• Convey decisions for all Winter 2023 applications, including decisions for late applications.
Note: Applications without decisions are automatically changed to “Denied” status after the 8th day of the quarter.
• Submit student petition to Defer AEP (Academic English Program) requirements – admitted for Winter Quarter 2023 deferring AEP requirement to Spring Quarter 2023.

Note: Students pay their Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD) via the Enrollment Confirmation System (ECS), which closes on Friday, January 13 for students admitted for Winter Quarter. Students cannot pay the ECD in-person or by postal mail.

Please contact gemshelp@uw.edu with any questions.

* A student moving from a later quarter to Winter 2023 should be processed as soon as possible to prevent registration problems. If you have any F-1 or J-1 students that wish to begin early entry in Winter Quarter 2023, please contact a GEMS advisor to discuss their specific case.

Thank you for your support in providing graduate students with a positive UW experience.
