Information sessions are led by an admissions counselor and give you the opportunity to ask questions about the application process and the Elliott School. There is a mix of in-person and virtual information session opportunities. Please check the registration calendar for upcoming dates and note whether the session you choose is in-person or virtual. Applicants who attend an information session will qualify for an application fee waiver. Once granted, this application fee waiver can only be applied once and for one new* application.
*Please note that the application fee is non-refundable after submission and fee waivers cannot be used retroactively. If you plan to use a fee waiver obtained through an information session, please attend the information session before submitting your application. - Graduate School Fairs (In-Person & Virtual)
