What information is in the Program Details tab?

There are a lot of details regarding your program stored here, most notably:

• Program Information
  • Your program's Slate ID number (top right corner)
  • The URL to your Graduate Guide program page
  • The number of recommenders required to apply for your program in Slate
  • Designated Query Manager(s) for your program
• Domestic Admissions Deadlines and Requirements
• International Admissions Deadlines and Requirements
• Permissions
  • List of Graduate Coordinators for your program with access to Slate
  • List of faculty for your program with access to Slate

Deadline Definitions

Display Deadline: The deadline displayed in the application, which should match what is listed on your program's Guide page.

• Display Deadline can only be adjusted once a year during the annual Lumen/Guide updates.
• If the Display Deadline listed in Slate does not match the deadline listed on your program's Guide page, please contact the Graduate School Admissions Office at admissionstaff@grad.wisc.edu.

Program Final Deadline: Applications can still be submitted up to this date in Slate, and the program commits to reviewing applications that arrive before this deadline.

• Program Final Deadline must be after the Display Deadline, and we strongly suggest it to be at least 3 days after the Display Deadline, so applicants who experience last-second technical difficulties (or did not factor in time zone differences) have a short grace period to submit their applications.
• Your program can request to move up the Program Final Deadline to stop accepting applications. For example, if your initial Program Final Deadline had been April 15, but by March 1 you already had a committed cohort of applicants and therefore do not wish to receive any more applications, you can request to have your Program Final Deadline to be changed to March 1.

Graduate School Default Final Deadline ("None"): Default deadline when no new applications can be submitted. It is listed as "None" in the Program Details page deadlines section. 
Summer entry term = June 2
Fall entry term = June 2
Spring entry term = December 2

• If your program would like to extend the Graduate School Final deadline beyond the default deadlines listed above for each term, you must contact Graduate School Admissions Office at admissionstaff@grad.wisc.edu
• If your Display Deadline is after the Graduate School Default Deadline for a term, the Program Final Deadline will be set to the day after the display deadline. For example, if your program has a Fall term Display Deadline for July 1, the Program Final Deadline will be set to July 2.
