  • Submit electronic documents
  • Check status of application
  • Update your application
  • Track your admission packet
  • Transfer your I-20

• When can I access Atlas?

  You may access Atlas once you have successfully completed your online application and have received an email with your 10 digit University ID and Limited Access PIN.

  Timeline: It may take several days to receive the email with your login information after you submit your online application. Graduate students can access Atlas after they have been initially admitted into their program and the department forwards the application to OIA for final review.

It may take several days for you to receive an email with your UID and Limited Access PIN (usually between 2-3 business days).

  If you have received an email with your UID and Limited Access PIN and still cannot log on, you should first do the following:

  • Check to make sure you are entering your UID, date of birth, or Limited Access PIN correctly.
  • Check to make sure the way you entered date of birth on the online application matches what you enter on the log-in. Remember in the US, it goes: Month, Day, Year.
  • If you have attempted to log on and failed three times, a new Limited Access PIN has been assigned to you. A new Limited Access PIN will be emailed to you (see FAQ ‘How do I find my Limited Access PIN’). It may take up to 48 hours to receive a new Limited Access PIN.
