4. Admissions Procedure 4.1 General Procedure All applicants for admission will initially be examined and evaluated by the department, institute or school in which the applicant wishes to study. All supporting documents (transcripts, letters of reference, etc.) must be received before any application can receive formal consideration. Completed applications of those students whom the department wishes to recommend for admission will be forwarded to the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research for consideration. The office of the Dean will officially notify each applicant whose admission is approved. 4.2 Admission Validity for New Students The Statement of Standing on Admission issued to each newly-admitted student is valid only for the twelve month period stipulated on the form. If the applicant fails to register within this period of time, his/her admission and registration eligibility will lapse automatically. He/she may re-apply for admission. 4.3 Revocation of Admission or Registration The University may nullify an admission and revoke a registration if it finds that an applicant for admission or registration has in the process provided false or incomplete information.
