NEWS IN BRIEF: Graduate school deadlines

---

A number of Rice undergraduates have reported to Mark Scheid, associate director of Academic Advising, that of some graduate schools making offers to prospective graduate students and requiring a response by the end of March.

These restrictions are in violation of a nonbinding Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) resolution that states that no admissions reply deadline can be earlier than April 15.

"However, students are entitled to accept one offer and then decide to accept another, as long as it is prior to April 15, as long as a written resignation is sent to the school the student originally had accepted the offer from," CGS member Nancy Gaffney said.

Contact Mark Scheid, Academic Advising, ext. 4785, for more information.
