The
Application Process
How
should I apply?
It is our aim to provide a fair, balanced review
of applications with the least amount of delay.
In order to do this, applications must be submitted
online through the UND Graduate School Admissions
Page:
http://www.graduateschool.und.edu/html/landingpage-connect.html
All
application forms are available on the above web
site and all supporting documentation must be submitted
electronically using the above web site.
When should I submit my application?
The deadline for applications is February
1. Applications received after that date will be
considered but will have a lower priority for financial
assistance.
We
strongly suggest that the GRE (and if necessary
the TOEFL, see below) is taken prior to the end
of the previous fall semester. Given the volume
of applications and time of processing, the reporting
of scores and inclusion into admission files after
that period can be delayed. The UND Institutional
Code for the GRE is 6878. Our Departmental Code
for the GRE is 0216.
