To apply for programs/fellowships/awards or register for events, please follow these steps:
- Login with your email address. To create a new account, choose a password and check "this is my first login...". If you change email address, don't create a new account—log in with your old email and switch to the new email. Always keep your email address current, as employers will use it to contact you about your applications.
- After login, fill out the Standard Coversheet, where you must select all the Disciplines you are interested in finding programs in, enter all your reference writers, and ask the system to email them the reference letter requests when needed. Your reference writers won't receive any letter requests unless you ask.
- Upload files needed for your applications into your Portfolio. Since the system is a real-time application system and the institutions always access your latest application material directly online, you must keep all the relevant files and all your reference letters for all your applications in your account up to date throughout the whole application process.
- Search the Program List and create saved search lists, mark programs you are interested, or sign up for RSS feeds or daily email alerts, or follow us on Twitter. To apply, click on "Apply" on any program ad page. Applications don't have to be complete at first—you can update them later from your Status page. Note that all dates (such as deadlines and listing dates, in YYYY/MM/DD format) use US Eastern Standard/Daylight Time [current Thu Oct 16 14:25:24 2025].
- Check your Status page to see any status updates from the institutions, and to see if your applications are complete or to update them (for example, to replace your CV, or to withdraw.)
