Additional Online Application Hints for Graduate Applicants

• George Mason University strongly encourages graduate applicants to apply online. This process will save you time as well as help to speed the processing of your application. Additionally, by utilizing the self managed application process, you can assist us in coordinating all of your supporting documents and application materials.

• The self managed application process requires applicants to submit supporting documents (e.g. transcripts, letters of recommendation, essays, writing samples, etc.) in one package mailed to Mason. These documents will then be matched with your online application. Please include your full name, web application login ID, date of birth, and Mason G# (If you are currently not a Mason student you will receive an e-mail a few days after you submit your completed online application which contains your Mason G#.).

• Since graduate admission applications are handled within the individual colleges of Mason, it is critical that you send all of your supporting documentation to the correct admission address. We have prepared a list of graduate admission application addresses, available in PDF format. Please print off this is listing and keep it for your records.

• Students who are applying for admission to graduate programs at George Mason University must maintain contact with the department to which they have applied. All international graduate applicants must follow directions stated in the graduate application regarding required documents, credential/degree validation and department deadlines.
