Notification of Acceptance
The graduate school must concur with the departmental admissions committee decision before it becomes official. An "official acceptance letter" will be mailed by the graduate school. Prior to the receipt of the graduate school's official notification, any notification of acceptance communicated by the Terry College, either verbally or written, is considered "pending graduate school approval" and is unofficial.
