Frequently Asked Questions
Graduate Students:
For most inquiries related to your academic status and needs, the GRADUATE COORDINATOR from your home academic department/program will be best able to assist you.
If you need to look up the contacts for your graduate program, please access our Department/Program Contacts Look-Up Tool. (Single Sign-on required and if you’re off campus, you’ll need to use VPN.)
For other inquiries, GEPA staff contact information can be found here.

Tuesdays: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Wednesdays: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
*Please note that if you have attended and earned a degree from an institution outside of the United States, you are required to complete and submit a WES Evaluation, as detailed in your applicant status portal.

We are unable to provide exceptions to this requirement.
Current GEPA Operations
The Division of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs (GEPA) staff work hybrid schedules during business hours (Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.) and our physical office space is open Tuesday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Please see the staff directory for specific information about each unit, as well as the graduate program directories below. We encourage appointment scheduling instead of walk-ins and require all visitors to be in compliance with current campus public health and safety guidelines. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
