Filing Guidelines
Once an applicant is admitted and registers, all admissions information which records the basis of admission to the University is transferred to the student record. Graduate admission files are frequently maintained separately from the student record. In faculties or departments where this is not the practice, transfer all records necessary to the student record immediately after admission/registration.
