Congratulations on Your Admission!

Once you've been offered admission, please notify the Graduate School of your decision to accept or decline your offer. Processing your acceptance may take up to five business days. Our admissions staff works through notifications and questions in the order they are received.

If you have been awarded merit-based financial aid (generally in the form of a graduate assistantship) you will need to respond to that offer separately and in addition to accepting/declining your offer of admission.

Use your email address and password to access your Marquette email account. Additional information about setting up and accessing your email account can be found on the IT Services website. 

This is the email address the University will use to send official communications, so it is important that you check it regularly. Expect to receive a weekly newsletter from the Graduate School.

Complete Forms

Log in to CheckMarq by using the username and temporary password sent via email within a few days of submitting your application. Contact the IT Services TechSquad if you need to retrieve or reset your log in credentials. 

Complete the forms in the "Next Steps" section. Forms includes required information from the Marquette University Medical Clinic, as well as forms on demographic information. International students will be able to complete the next steps section once they have received their I-20.

Medical Clinic forms are typically available 2 weeks before the semester begins. We encourage you to complete these forms before the start of the term; a hold may be placed on your record if medical information is not submitted in a timely fashion.

Prior to registering for classes each term, you are required to complete a Preregistration Cheq in CheckMarq. This allows you to complete mandatory financial and academic integrity agreements in advance of your registration appointment time, leaving fewer steps to complete at the point of registration.

Transcripts must be submitted to the Graduate School within the first five weeks of the term of admission or a hold preventing registration for future terms will be placed on your record.

Students should view properties in person and read the entire lease contract before signing it or paying any money.
