The admissions timeline varies by program, but most programs notify students of their admissions decision within 4-6 weeks of the time their application becomes complete, meaning all materials have been received, and goes under review. Please note that for all programs, with the exception of the Master's Credential Cohort programs, an application will not be reviewed until the deadline has passed and all required materials have been received and processed.
After your application is submitted, the Office of Graduate Admissions must process all of your materials and prepare each application for review. Each program's faculty must then review all applications for admission and in some cases interview applicants. Once admissions decisions are rendered, this information is communicated to both the Office of Admissions and Outreach and the Office of Graduate Admissions, which will email and mail decision letters. At this point, The Office of Financial Aid will begin the process of creating financial aid awards for admitted students who have filed the FAFSA.
The status of your application can be tracked online via the MySanDiego portal. Login instructions will be sent by email from the Office of Graduate Admission approximately one week after your application is received.
