To check the status of your application, login to your applicant status portal by visiting the Admissions Office site. Once logged in, select Checklist. This portal contains your itemized application checklist.

*Please allow 3-5 business days for your application to be processed and checklist updated accordingly.

To ease the financial burdens of our prospective students and facilitate the graduate application process, EKU is waiving the application fee – no strings attached! What are you waiting for? Apply today!

Some programs may waive the entrance exam requirement (GRE/GMAT/MAT) depending on your undergraduate GPA. Please refer to the graduate programs website to determine eligibility and target scores.

However, those desiring admission to an EKU Graduate Program with less than a 2.5 GPA undergraduate must take the GRE.

The turnaround time for an admissions review is dependent upon both how quickly the applicant submits all required materials and how quickly the department completes the review. Please note: Certain times of the year, (i.e., holidays and summer breaks) may impact the processing time and result in a longer wait time.

As a general standard, the team anticipates approximately 3-5 days for the processing of an application (depending on the items noted above).

The Graduate School application is required for all students seeking admission. Supplemental department applications do not result in admission to the Graduate School. It is very important to establish communication with both the Graduate School and the program for which you are pursuing admissions. Check with your department to see if there are any additional admission requirements besides the general EKU Graduate School application process.

Login to your applicant status portal, go to Checklist. On the right, you will see the upload portal where you can upload additional supporting documents.

Login to your applicant status portal, select the ‘Checklist’ tab. At the bottom of your checklist, you will see the following statement:

“To re-send notification emails to your recommenders, re-visit the recommendations page, click ‘Edit’, and then click ‘Send Reminder’.”

Follow the link and it will direct you back to the Recommendation section to allow you to exclude a recommender, replace or edit a recommender, and/or resend a notification to your recommender.
