• Did you receive my materials? Once we have processed your application materials, we will email you a courtesy notice to let you know if any items have not been received.  This will typically take about 1 week.  You can also check online (in the application system) to see if your letters of recommendation have been received.
• When I preview the application, it seems like I didn't fill in some of the information, but I wasn't asked.  What should I do?  Our graduate program opted out of asking some questions because we felt they were redundant. You will not be able to fill in the following sections: GRE Scores; Prior Experience; Prerequisite Course History; Future Interests or Goals; Resume/CV (upload).
• What is the cost of attending the program? Graduate school tuition and fees are listed on the UC Davis Graduate studies website: https://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/tuition-and-fees. 
• What kind of funding is available? Top applicants to the Ph.D. program will receive generous financial support packages. To be considered for financial support, please submit all application materials listed in the application checklist below, by the January 5th deadline. For more information, see https://religionsgrad.ucdavis.edu/fundingYou can also review the information about GREL funding options here.
• Is funding available for International students?  Yes. Funding is available for international students, but it is quite limited. 
• Is funding available for undocumented or DACAmented students?Some scholarships and loans may be available to undocumented students thanks to the California Dream Act. In order to work as a Teaching Assistant or Graduate Student Researcher, students must be authorized to work (by DACA or other means). To learn more, please visit the Undocumented Student Center website.
• How do I apply for the M.A.? We do not accept applications for terminal M.A. degrees.  While Ph.D. students may earn an M.A. en route to the Ph.D., we do not accept students directly to the M.A. program.
• How do I apply for Spring admission? Applications for admission are accepted for fall quarter only.
• I made a mistake in my online application.  Can I send you a corrected version? Unfortunately we are not able to alter your application once you have submitted it. Please take care to proofread your documents before the final submission.
• I want to visit the campus. How do I do that? If you are planning a visit to UC Davis, please feel free to contact Maria Ruby, the GREL's Graduate Program Coordinator, to arrange an appointment: religion@ucdavis.edu.
