Yes, departments must get pre-approval from Walter Boggan, Director of Graduate Admissions, Outreach, and Diversity Initiatives by completing this DocuSign form prior to the applicant’s travel.

As of March 27, 2024, we are no longer accepting diversity applicant lodging reimbursement requests for the 2024 recruitment cycle. The DocuSign form has been deactivated. If your department still needs to submit a pre-approval form, please email graddiv-gradadmin@ucsb.edu. |
Approval will be granted for domestic doctoral or MFA applicants from non‐traditional educational backgrounds who bring an understanding of the experiences of groups historically underrepresented in higher education (i.e. those who represent cultural, linguistic, geographic, and socio‐economic backgrounds not adequately represented in the graduate student population). We ask that you work with Walter to arrange for your diversity applicants to meet with him and/or members of his unit during their recruitment visit.
