We will be hosting our in-person, required MA Program Orientation on Friday, August 28th. Please arrive before this date so you can attend. 

There will be a number of planned activities for incoming on-campus students the week following MA Statistics Orientation that you will not want to miss.  These include career preparation workshops, math review sessions, a special community cruise, and the GSAS (Graduate School of Arts & Sciences) Orientation.  Details will follow in welcome emails.  

Please read carefully about this on the GSAS New Student Checklist  and submit as soon as possible, or you may receive a hold on your registration.  You can email questions to:  [email protected]. 

Once you accept your offer of admission into the MA Program and pay your deposit, a space is reserved for you to register for classes.  Registration for all incoming students will not happen until the very end of August.  Find the exact date in your Welcome Emails. 

When you register for classes (in late August/early September) you must also register for a full or partial RU (Residence Unit).  The RU determines the tuition you will pay.  Once you register, you will be billed. 

Please consult the Student Financial Services for complete instructions on billing and payment (including E-Billing, payment options, refunds, and withdrawals). There is also information about payment and billing deadlines through the GSAS page. Finally, you may refer to this guide to making your online payment. 

Payment is due by the date listed on the Student Account Statement, which is available in Student Services Online (SSOL). In general, payment for each term is due before the end date of the University’s official Change of Program period, as noted on the academic calendar. 

There will be no facilities fee charged on your bill for the first semester since it will be online and you will not be on campus. 

The hybrid students will receive their ID cards in mid-January, when they come to campus.
