[Coehd] UTSA VIP Nominations

To All: Please see note below from Dr. Langman. If you have any questions regarding the VIP Nomination process, please contact your Student Development Specialist within your department or myself. Thanks, Dear Faculty, It's that time of year to think about your undergraduate students who may be interested in graduate school at UTSA beginning in Spring 2019. The VIP process is designed to facilitate the graduate application process for undergraduates who meet the criteria (see link below for criteria): involves two steps: 1. a tenure/tenure track faculty member nominates a student to VIP admissions (please click submit on the online form and then give a hard copy of the form to your Student Development Specialist to route for signature). 2. Once the Graduate School contacts the student, the student applies. The process is now streamlined with the online nomination. For spring 2019 admission the deadline to nominate is October 1. Students will then have until October 15 to apply through the VIP system. In the coming months, we will begin a coordinated recruitment effort that includes a focus on VIP. For now, however, if you have a deserving student you would like to nominate please use the link below to connect to the updated Graduate School website. The forms are located within the Faculty Nomination Process section of the webpage. The full link to the pertinent webpage is: https://graduateschool.utsa.edu/faculty-staff/vip-admissions-program-for-...;. Once completed, please click submit and then send your hard copy nomination form to your Student Development Specialist within your department. They will assist you with any questions you have and/or adding the additional required information.
