Please note participants are required to inform within 30 days (1^st billing) of acceptance to hold your place in your Fellow program.

Prior to your stipend posted on STAGE (approximately one month prior to the beginning of your admit term), you can estimate your living costs using the details on your program page. Ensure you review your offer of admission carefully to determine what funding may be available to you.

Review and estimate your total costs/expenses and your resources to fund them, including things like rent for off-campus housing and groceries. 

You’re likely still several months away from beginning your new fellowship program, but there are many things you can start thinking about to make your transition go smoothly.

Review and satisfy your conditions of admission

• It’s important to satisfy your conditions of admissionas soon as possible, or at least by the due date.
• Your conditions of admission must be satisfied before we can make your profile active into your program. For those who have satisfied their conditions of admission, matriculation takes place approximately six weeks prior to the beginning of the term. The matriculation process continues to take place on a rolling basis as conditions of admission are satisfied.

View and update your personal information

Ensure that you review and update your personal information, including emergency contacts, in STAGE. Remember to keep your contact information up to date! Hint: If you know your new address, but haven’t yet moved, you can “future-date” an address by editing when the address change will take effect.
