Offers with Financial Support

The Rackham Graduate School abides by the Council of Graduate Schools Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees, and Assistants. When a prospective or current student accepts an offer of financial support (such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year, the student enters an agreement that both the student and graduate program are expected to keep. Students are not committed to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15. See the resolution for additional conditions influencing the offer.

International Students

After you accept the offer of admission in Wolverine Access, follow the steps to receive an F-1 or J-1 visa.
