Applicants are required to provide information about their three recommenders, such as their email addresses, via the online Graduate School application for admission. Each recommender will receive an email with a username/password and the link to the recommendation site. Here, along with identifying information, they will type the recommendation letter or attach a .doc or .pdf file. |

| Chemistry Department Application Deadlines | ||
| Once your application is complete, a committee of faculty members of the Department of Chemistry will evaluate it. Evaluation of completed applications will begin in December and continue until we have filled the fall class. We recommend strongly that you submit your application materials by January 10th. Later applications will be considered on a space available basis. International applicants should apply as early as possible to allow sufficient time to process financial and visa documents. | ||
| Visiting our Department | ||
If you are accepted to our program, you will receive an invitation to visit the department soon after you receive the Chemistry Department acceptance letter. Most students will visit during one of our Visitation Weekends, arriving Friday afternoon, departing Sunday. The purpose of these weekends is to acquaint you with our program, including our faculty, graduate students, and research facilities. You will also have a chance to tour campus and the town of Chapel Hill during your visit. A distinct advantage to visiting on one of these two weekends is that a majority of the faculty will be in town. We encourage you to combine your visit to our department with visits to other schools if possible to reduce the cost of your trip for everyone.
