APPLICATIONS/ADMISSIONS

  1. Where should I send my application materials?


    Applicants may send application materials to the following address:

    GSIS Office of Admissions and Financial Aid
    2201 S. Gaylord St

    Fax: 303.871.3585
    Email: gsisadm@du.edu


  2. Is there an application deadline?


    Students may apply for fall, winter or summer quarters. While GSIS operates on a rolling admission basis, there is a priority deadline of January 15th for summer and fall admissions and October 15th for winter admissions. Applicants who meet the priority deadline are given first consideration for admissions. Late applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis. Guaranteed scholarships are guaranteed throughout the application season. For more information please see How to Apply.


  3. What are the admissions requirements?


    Students must submit the following items: two official undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) transcripts from every institution they have completed 2 or more credits from, official standardized GRE and TOEFL (when applicable) test score reports, three official letters of recommendation including our recommender form, a resume or CV, a 500-750 word statement of purpose, GSIS application and an application fee ($65 for online and $75 for paper applications), and a 30 page writing sample (PhD applicants only). For more details see the Prospective Students page.


  4. What should my statement of purpose include?


    An applicant should briefly describe their reasons for applying to the program, their existing professional and academic background and why our program matches their interests. Moreover, they should emphasize their future career plans and how certain aspects of the program (i.e., classes, centers, faculty advisors) will help them to achieve their goals.


  5. What is considered an official transcript?


    Official transcripts must be submitted in order for an application to be considered complete. In order for a transcript to be considered official, it must come in a sealed envelope, stamped with the registrar/institution’s official stamp. International transcripts must contain the official seal(s) of the school and come from the records office in the original language. For non-English transcripts, two notarized or certified translations are also required.

    GSIS requires TWO official transcripts from all schools a student has received credit from (including study abroad schools).


  6. Do I need to submit copies of my study abroad transcripts?


    If the course numbers, credit hours, and grades from the study abroad school are ALL posted on your home institution’s transcript, than study abroad transcripts are not needed. However, if ALL of these items are not listed, then two official transcripts (including English translations when applicable) are required before your application may be considered complete.


  7. If I only took one or two courses at a university that was not where I received my undergraduate degree, do I still need to submit those transcripts?


    Yes, the University of Denver’s Registrar’s Office requires 2 official transcripts from every institution attended where 2 or more credits were completed, even if you did not receive a degree. The only exception is for study abroad programs administered through your home university if ALL of the following information is provided: course numbers, credit hours, and grades. If one of the above items are missing, 2 official transcripts (and English translations) from the study abroad university must be provided.


  8. I am interested in applying to the Master's International Program w/the Peace Corps. Should I apply to the Peace Corps first or GSIS first?


    The Master's International (MI) program only requires that you begin the application process to both GSIS and the Peace Corps at approximately the same time. You do NOT have to be nominated (accepted) to the Peace Corps prior to being accepted at GSIS. You will need to submit your GSIS acceptance letter to the Peace Corps before you are officially recognized as a Peace Corps MI candidate. So, simply apply to both programs around the same time, and you will be on the right timetable for consideration for the MI program at GSIS.


  9. Do my recommenders need to use the GSIS letter of recommendation form?


    Recommenders are welcome to submit their letter on official letterhead; however we prefer that they also complete the recommendation form as well. You can download our recommendation form prefer students to use our letters of recommendation forms. You can download the PDF here.

However, we will keep your supplemental documents in a temporary file for up to one year from the time of the first submission. Once an application is submitted, we will merge your temporary file with your official application file.

    Decision notification letters for the summer and fall quarters are sent via US post around mid- March and mid to late November for winter quarter admissions.

It is also recommended that applicants have some international experience.


  18. Can I defer my admissions?


    Deferral requests may be submitted to the GSIS Director of Admissions and Financial Aid. Deferrals are only granted for compelling reasons, such as family/medical emergency, outstanding professional and/or academic opportunity.

    The following items must be submitted to request a deferral:
    1.
    A Completed Deferral Request Form

    “I understand that this $700 deposit is non refundable if I fail to enroll in the term agreed upon. Regardless of the reason for not enrolling, both my deposit and my offer of admission will be forfeited.”

    GSIS has three entry quarters for admission: fall, winter, and summer. Deferrals can be requested to any of these quarters for up to one academic year. If your deferral is granted, you are expected to enroll for the quarter specified on your Deferral Request Form. Any GSIS scholarships will also defer and be disbursed upon matriculation.

    If your deferral is not granted, the $700 deposit will be returned to you or the check can be shredded. If, at that time, you decide to enroll at GSIS for the quarter you were originally admitted, you must accept your offer of admission by sending in your Admissions Reply Form and a $500 ($400 will apply toward your tuition and $100 toward a one time student activity fee) enrollment deposit to:
