Applications for the Communication (COM) and Journalism and Public Interest Communication (JPIC) majors are online and available the first week of autumn, winter, and spring quarters for admission the following quarter. Students may apply to only one of the two programs at a time.
Once their application has been submitted, applicants will receive a copy of their application via the email they used as a confirmation of submission. If no copy has been received, it may either be in another mailbox, such as Spam or Junk, or it may indicate that the application has not been fully submitted. Applications may be edited after they are submitted up until the deadline. No late submissions will be accepted.
Students will be notified by the end of the fourth week of the quarter for the autumn quarter cycle and the end of the fifth week of the quarter for the winter and spring quarter cycles with their admissions decision.
