Graduate Admissions and Outreach

Graduate Admissions

The admissions section of our website covers the admissions requirements and process for students. This section of our website is designed to provide graduate program faculty and staff with the information they need to facilitate graduate student recruitment, application review, and admissions.

Financial Support Offer Letters Contingency Language

Graduate Studies and the Office of Provost have worked with campus counsel and the UC Office of the President to create approved contingency language for financial support offer letters. An FAQ has been created for graduate program chairs and graduate program coordinators. 

Outreach and Recruitment Resources

Graduate Studies has compiled graduate student reports, recommendations and resources to assist UC Davis faculty and staff in their efforts to recruit intellectually talented, highly motivated, and well-prepared students from diverse backgrounds. Visit the Outreach and Recruitment page to learn tips and useful ideas for effectively communicating with prospective students.
