The approval process
Because PlusOne deadlines vary by program, consult with your undergraduate academic advisor, but wait no later than fall of your third year. Your application will be considered by the appropriate graduate admissions committee. The programs set their own academic standards for admission, which you can find on each college’s PlusOne program website.
Contact your academic advisor to learn more about your PlusOne options.
