Graduate Admissions
You've been admitted—now what? Take the next steps to complete your enrollment.
The information on this page is for students admitted to a master's degree program or enrolled in courses through Graduate Student-at-Large.
Step One: Secure Your Spot
- Log into the application portal with the same login information you used to apply.
- Confirm your enrollment by accepting your offer and paying your deposit. This must be completed before any additional steps.
- Obtain your UChicago ID, an eight-digit number starting with “12,” which will appear in an email after you pay your deposit.
Step Two: Create Your CNetID
Once you obtain your UChicago ID number, you can create your CNetID (Chicago Network Identifier), required to access most online services at the University of Chicago, including wireless, cMore, Canvas, Wiki, file storage, and campus email.
Step Three: Set Up Your UChicago Email
Visit the IT Services website for information on how to set up your campus email. Students are expected to check and respond to their UChicago email regularly.
Step Four: Complete the Enrollment Checklist
All admissions reviews are conducted with unofficial transcripts. All admitted students must provide an official transcript showing the conferral of your undergraduate degree, the date of conferral, and your area of study. Official transcripts must be sent directly from the institution granting the degree. If transcripts are being sent electronically, please instruct your institution to send it through the e-transcript service at professional-admissions@uchicago.edu.
Alternatively, you may request your official paper transcript in the original school sealed envelope to be sent by USPS first-class mail or express shipping to:
