Q: My department told me I was admitted but I haven't received anything from OGS.
A: Departments recommend applicants for admission to the Dean of Graduate Studies.  The official notification of admission will come from the Graduate Admissions office which acts on behalf of the Dean of Graduate Studies.  It can take up to 2 weeks to process the department nomination paperwork.  If it has been more than 4 weeks, please email gradadmissions@ucsd.edu. Make sure to include any information that may have changed since you submitted your application.

Q: I have been admitted and have questions about my visa forms.
A: If you have questions about the I-20 or DS-2019 Certificates of Eligibility, contact gradadmissions@ucsd.edu.

Your Certificate of Eligibility outlines procedures for obtaining a visa from a U.S. Embassy. For additional information, access the UCSD International Student and Scholar Office (ISSO) web site http://isso.ucsd.edu/isso/

Q: I haven't received anything about Registration.
A: You will receive registration information from your department. This is usually given to new students at your department's New Student Orientation. If you have other questions, contact your department through their website Department/Program List.

Q: I can't register. I was told I'm not admitted.
A: The problem may be that you did not complete the online Graduate Intent to Register form. In this case a registration screen in the campus student database is not created. The Graduate Intent to Register form is located on the Application Status page of your online application.

To determine what the problem is, contact gradadmissions@ucsd.edu.
