FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How do I check the status of my application and ensure all supplemental materials have been received by my department?
Graduate admission at the University at Buffalo is a decentralized process. This means that each individual department collects and processes all application materials and makes admissions decisions for each applicant. Therefore, you will need to contact the department to which you are applying for information regarding your application status or receipt of required documents. You may find a complete list of programs and contact information at the following website: http://www.provost.buffalo.edu/grad/academics/academicprograms.asp
