Enrollment & Next Steps
Step 1: Confirm Your Enrollment
You can log in to the Application for Graduate Study to accept or decline your admission offer. (Refer to your admission offer letter for your enrollment confirmation deadline.) You will be prompted to pay a non-refundable deposit to hold your place in the program.
Required next steps after confirming your enrollment
Once you have accepted the offer of admission, return to the Application for Graduate Study and follow the prompts to complete these important next steps. All information required by central UW offices are listed on the Pre-Registration page.
International students who will need to request an F-1 student visa can download the appropriate form (I-20 or DS-2019) from the Pre-Registration Page in the Application for Graduate Study.
In order to fulfill the I-20 requirements, admitted students will need to show financial ability. The requirements are outlined on the Graduate School website.
