New Paperless Application Distribution and Review System
The Graduate School continues to make great strides in improving operations. One such initiative that we will implement this fall is the complete automation of our graduate application distribution and review process. Automating this process will have several benefits for faculty reviewers, applicants, and staff. Please read Dean Jo Rae Wright's message to the Graduate Faculty and Directors of Graduate Study and their assistants regarding the paperless process. For detailed instructions on how to use the new system, please review the comprehensive ImageNow Training Guide and ImageNow Training Guide for Faculty Reviewers.
