The 14 day notice is automatically sent to applicants that currently have an un-submitted online application in their account. It does not necessarily mean that we have not received your application. It may mean that you have started more than one application to the same graduate program, and submitted one, leaving the others incomplete.

Reference forms can be downloaded from the Grad Studies web site.

Download paper reference forms  calle "Report on Applicant for Admission to Graduate Studies"

Note: some programs have their own reference forms.

If the program accepts electronic references, referees will receive an automatic e-mail (sent to the e-mail addresses you entered in the "Referees" section) asking them to provide a reference report on your behalf. They then submit their references to the online application.

If any of your referees has sent a written reference, please do not enter that referee's e-mail address in the online application. Referees should provide either a paper or an electronic reference, but not both.

More information about references

You can also contact the program you are applying to if you have questions about references.

Please contact the program directly, or ask the student you are referring to follow up.

In most cases, this happens because the reference link has wrapped around to a second line in your e-mail program, thus invalidating the link. Please try cutting and pasting the complete e-mail link into your browser.

If the link still does not work, please e-mail Graduate Studies with REFERENCE LINK BROKEN in the subject line, and provide the full name of the student requesting the reference. If possible, e-mail us by forwarding your original e-mail with the broken link.
