compiled by the grad committee. To initiate an offer please email me the candidate information you wish to make an offer to, and I will confirm to both the Unit Head (David) and Accounts Manager (Alicia) that the student is eligible for admission into the
program. Unit admin will also expect to see a financial plan prior to sending the student a formal offer into the SPLS grad program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
