Autumn 2022: Convey Admissions Decisions

Please be advised the fifth day of instruction, Tuesday, October 4 is an important admission deadline for Autumn Quarter.

The following actions should be taken in MGP no later than October 4.

    • Defer – admitted for Autumn 2022 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 (Prior to submitting Admission Petition type: Defer- specify qtr/yr/ offer of admission required, confirm student has withdrawn from all classes via the Student Database system (SDB) SRF-100 Student Schedule Inquiry.)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 Autumn 2022. 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 Autumn 2022 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 Autumn Quarter 2022 deferring AEP requirement to Winter Quarter 2023.

Note: Students pay their Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD) via the Enrollment Confirmation System (ECS), which closes on Friday, October 7 for students admitted for Autumn 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 Autumn 2022 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 Autumn Quarter 2022, please contact a GEMS advisor to discuss their specific case.
