Applicants recommended for admission, will have their completed application forwarded to the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FOGS) for approval. FOGS reviews the application and issues the formal offer of admission. As the number of candidates often exceeds the number of positions available, a record that satisfies basic entrance requirements does not guarantee admission. At time of admission the student is assigned a Graduate Faculty Supervisor who is a member of the Graduate Faculty and who has agreed to work closely with the student throughout their period of study. When possible, applicants are encouraged to become aware of potential Faculty Supervisors whose area of study is related to the student's study/research interest.
