After you apply

• Log in with the email and password you used when starting your application to check its status.
  
  
• Once you have logged in, you will see "My application" showing in your account, which will display the status of your application.
  
  
• You can verify which program-specific supplemental items and documents, including reference requests, have been satisfied by clicking "View" under "Action." As documentation is received by the university, the item will be updated in your application. 

• Check application status

After submitting your application and paying the fee, you can log back in to:

• Upload supplemental documents
• Send reference requests to your referees

Required items vary by program and may include unofficial transcripts, degree certificates, writing samples, or statements of research interest.

If you are offered admission to a USask program, you will be required to have official copies of some documents such as transcripts to be sent directly from the issuing institution to the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Official documents must be sent physically or electronically by the issuing institution. There is no need to have official documents sent prior to receiving an offer of admission.

• For submitted applications: If you applied to the wrong term or program, or need other changes, contact the academic unit of the program you applied to.
  
  
• For unsubmitted (started but did not submit): You can log in and edit your application before submitting.

All graduate students are registered students of the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (CGPS). Academic units review applications and decide who will be recommended for admission. CGPS reviews these recommendations to ensure minimum admission standards are met and issues the official admission letter.

The admission process for graduate students is a two-step process.

1. After you have submitted the online application, the program to which you applied will receive notice and will be able to:
   
   
   • Make sure all supporting documents have been received and the application fee has been paid
   • Review your academic background and, where applicable, your English test results
   • Review your letters of recommendation
   • Make a determination on departmental scholarships, fellowships or other funding
   • Make a decision on recommending you for admission to the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies or notify you by email or letter that your application was not successful.

2. The College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies admissions team will:
   
   
   • Review the recommendation submitted by the program to which you applied.
   • Ensure all eligibility criteria have been met.
   • Either approve your admission to graduate studies at the University of Saskatchewan and issue a formal admission letter from the University; or will work with the program toward a resolution in which you can be offered admission.

As soon as a decision about your application has been made:

• You will be notified via the email you used to create your application. Then, you can log in to your application account to review your decision letter.
• If your application was successful, you will be prompted to accept your offer of admission online through your account. 
  • International students will have additional tasks to do before admission can be completed. See FAQs on the Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) process at USask.
• Be sure to read your formal admission letter carefully. There may be additional information, or items you need to complete before you start planning to arrive at USask to start your graduate program.

Before you begin your studies at USask, there are several important tasks you will need to do. Some things should be done before you arrive on campus. Others can only be done in-person.
