Mailing Instructions

Mailing Label and Cover Sheet

Applicants are required to use the following Mailing Label and Cover Sheet when submitting application materials. Using these ensures the accurate and timely processing of admissions documents.

The Graduate Affairs and Admissions Office advises applicants to submit the online application before sending any supporting documentation. Admissions documents can then be matched to an existing record in the system.

Materials Not to Send

The Graduate Affairs and Admissions Office does not accept the following documents: 

• Paper versions of required uploads in the online application (statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, resume, sample(s) of work in excess of 1 MB). 
• Any document that is not required for admission (passport copies, financial statements, certificates, diplomas, health records etc.)
• Non-English language transcripts.

Mailing Requirements

The materials should be sent as follows:

• As originals (i.e. no copies, faxes or scans)
• Each envelope must include a completed Cover Sheet. (Envelopes received without a Cover Sheet may be discarded.)
• Official transcripts with the Cover Sheet. (If an institution will not include the Cover Sheet with its transcripts, the transcript should be mailed directly to the applicant. The Cover Sheet can then be attached to the transcript. Please note that an unofficial transcript is required for the submission of the online application.)
• Documents left flat (i.e. not stapled and not folded). Please note that sealed transcripts can be left as they've arrived to you in their envelopes. Do not open official transcripts before mailing to us.
