LOE Forms
If you nominate an applicant that doesn’t meet the requirements for admission, then your evaluator may request a Letter of Exception (LOE) in order to admit the applicant. Submitting an LOE for an applicant can be done directly in the Reader by completing the LOE Form.
Note: In rare cases, you may need to submit an LOE to GEPA in PDF format on official UCSD letterhead. These LOEs are not submitted through the Reader because they will be forwarded to the Graduate Council for approval, rather than approved at GEPA. The most common situations that call for this are LOEs regarding Duplication of Degree or Concurrent Enrollment. Your evaluator will inform you when an LOE needs to be emailed to them directly rather than submitted through the LOE form in Slate.
Reminder: LOEs are an internal process and should not be shared with applicants.
