Graduate and Doctoral Student Information
After being accepted into a graduate or doctoral program at Weatherhead School of Management, there are various steps you’ll need to take to complete the enrollment process before you arrive on campus. However—not all of these steps can be taken immediately after your admittance. You can expect to receive instructions and information about each phase of the process by or around the timeframes outlined below:
One Week After Admittance
- Steps to activate your Network ID: With your CWRU ID you can activate your CWRU email account, apply for financial aid (for U.S. citizens or international students with U.S. consignor) and submit a second deposit, if required.
Early April
- International Students I-20 instructions: In compliance with Department of Homeland Security regulations, Case Western Reserve University requires all admitted international students submit current detailed financial documentation before an I-20 or DS-2019 visa document can be processed. You will receive instructions on how to submit these documents and your I-20 as early as the first or second week in April. Applicants admitted after April will receive these instructions five days after they accept our offer by making their deposit.
