Your Graduate Application Processing

Once an application and supporting documents have been submitted, the files are sent to the corresponding graduate department. The file is reviewed by a departmental committee. When the committee has made an admissions decision, an official letter of notification will be sent to the applicant.

If applicants wish to include any additional correspondence or communicate additional information, it may be submitted in writing with the other admissions documents to msbuanonline@utdallas.edu.

The length of time needed to make an admissions decision varies depending on the time of year when your file is completed. Our offices receive more documentation as application deadlines draw closer. Allow up to six weeks for processing of application materials.
