If you submit your MSU graduate application between 12:01 AM and 11:59 PM on the 13th, you can apply for free! You can feel free to start your application and enter your recommenders prior to that date, but the automatic fee waiver is available on the 13th only and you must submit your application that day to receive the waiver.  \nGood news – after MSW Preview Day, we learned that the way MSU Denver is handling Colorado Free Application Day is to just turn off the application fee requirement system-wide for that day! All students who submit their application on October 13, regardless of if they are a Colorado resident or not, will have the application fee automatically waived.  \nCan we submit the app before the CO free app day? Will it let us pay it later? Do you have to pay the app fee right when you submit?  \nTo receive the automatic fee waiver on October 13, you must submit your application that day (i.e. click the“Finalize and Pay” button) . If you click that button prior to October 13, the $50 application fee will be applied to your account. If you are not submitting on CO Free Application Day, you can click the “Finalize and Pay”button and then come back later to pay the fee, but you will no longer be eligible for the automatic fee waiver on the 13th or to enter an application fee waiver code.  \nIf you want to submit on Colorado Free Application Day to receive the automatic fee waiver, we recommend taking the following steps to make sure you are set-up for success and can continue work on your application:  \n• Enter your recommenders into the application ASAP – as soon as you submit their information, they will receive a link where they can complete their recommendation even before you submit your application  \n• Start work on your additional materials (essay and, for Advanced Standing applicants, case study)– you can find the prompts for these materials in our step-by-step walkthrough under Step Two at [https://www.msudenver.edu/socialwork/apply/mswprogram/clickheretobegintheapplicationprocess/](https://www.msudenver.edu/socialwork/apply/mswprogram/clickheretobegintheapplicationprocess/) . If you have them all written and polished, then as soon as you submit your application you can upload them on into your application.  \nGeneral Information on Admissions & Application  \nAre we allowed to apply for both programs? If we apply to the Advanced Standing Program but don’t get accepted could we do the Regular Program instead?  \nApplicants can only submit an application to one program (Advanced Standing or Regular Program) per admissions cycle, and the review committee only reviews your application for admission into that one program. However, if you are denied from Advanced Standing during the 2021 Admissions Cycle and wanted to apply to the Regular Program during the 2022 Admissions Cycle, for example, that is allowed.  \nDo priority deadline applicants receive notice of acceptance sooner?  \nYes. If you're accepted at the priority deadline, you'll find out 10-12 weeks after the priority deadline (typically in mid-December to early January) . If your application is being moved to the final deadline to be reviewed with the entire pool of applicants, you'll also find that out in that time frame. Applicants who submit their materials by the final deadline or who have their application rolled forward from the priority deadline receive their admissions decision 10-12 weeks after the final deadline (typically in late March to mid-April) .  \nDo we also have to apply to MSU masters admissions as well?  \nNo – you only need to do one application to apply to both MSU Denver and the","cbCaiogejqOBBrUj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiogejqOBBrUj","pdf",319904,11,"English","# Colorado Free Application Day - UPDATE!\n## Automatic fee waiver timing and eligibility\n## Preparing your MSU graduate application\n## General admissions & application FAQs\n## Transcripts and prerequisite review FAQs","[{\"question\":\"What is Colorado Free Application Day and what does the fee waiver cover?\",\"answer\":\"Colorado Free Application Day is October 13, 2020, when colleges coordinated by the Colorado Department of Higher Education waive college application fees.
