Applying for Graduate (CAP)

We partner with several institutions for conditional admission. Students are welcome to apply to more than one university.

Remember to verify that the universities that you choose all have the program of study that you want!

All universities require certain documents to be submitted so that they can determine whether a student meets their requirements for admission.

Follow the instructions on the university’s admissions website about how and when to submit required documents. Each university has different processes, so it is important to follow these instructions carefully.

If you need assistance, contact CAPadmissions@udel.edu.

Mark your calendar!

• It takes approximately 8 weeks (after receiving all required admissions documents) to receive an admissions decision. Due to the high volume of email messages that we receive, we ask you not to contact the university or the ELI Admissions Office for an admissions update until after 8 weeks have passed since you completed your application.
• It is extremely important for you to make sure that you submitted all required documents to the university that you applied for. Otherwise, you will likely face processing delays.
• If your application is incomplete, or if there is a problem with your application, we will contact you by email.
• You will receive your admissions decision by email.
• Remember, it is very important for us to have an accurate email address on file for the student (and for the agent, if applicable)!
