在CollegeNET上完成研究生申请

Before you can submit a Graduate Application to RIC for the first time, you'll need to sign up for an account with CollegeNET, the application hosting service affiliated with RIC. 一旦你有了CollegeNET账户, you'll be able to log in any time and see your application status in the "你的活动" area. This area is a personalized status page that shows applications you've started, (so that you can continue your work on any in-progress), 还有你已经提交的那些.

开始使用CollegeNET

  1. 导航到 创建帐户CollegeNET页面
  2. Enter your account information exactly as instructed.
  3. 单击页面底部的提交按钮.

Please Note: Be sure to keep a record of your username and password, as you will need it to access applications in progress, 或者查看您的申请状态.

If you have already have a CollegeNET account you can:

  1. 去 针对ric的CollegeNet登陆页面
  2. 使用您的凭据登录
  3. 点击“网上研究生申请”

If you've begun your application and it is in-progress you can access it from the "你的活动" area:

  1. 去 针对ric的CollegeNet登陆页面
  2. 使用您的凭据登录
  3. 点击“你的活动”

一旦你有了CollegeNET账户, you can begin filling out a school application. You can either complete the application and submit it in one sitting, 或者保存您的工作并在以后继续. 填写申请表时:

  • to save what you have done so far without exiting, click the Save button.
  • to save and exit, click the Finish Session or Save and Exit button.
  • to access an application in progress and continue your work on it, either go to your 活动日志 and select the application, or access the application directly from the school's website.

仔细检查你的工作. When you are satisfied with it and are ready to send it to us, click the send button at the bottom of the last page. This saves your answers in their final form and takes you to the payment page where you pay your application fee online (or apply for a fee waiver, 如果该选项可用).

Note: Your application is not fully submitted until you pay your application fee and it has been authorized (see below), or until you have submitted a fee waiver request and it was granted.

在支付页面, you can pay your application fee by debit/credit card or check (note that electronic checks must be from US bank accounts only). 如以支票付款,请参阅 如何用支票付款 指令.

请注意:一旦付款授权, 你的申请是最终的, 你不能再对它做任何改变.

The information you enter is encrypted and secure when you save it and when you send it. Although general data collected on the system may be used in statistical studies and reports designed to assist institutions with planning, any information bearing your personal identification is disclosed only to the department to which you send it.

检查 你的活动 to print a copy of your form or to learn if we have received it.

When you save or transmit application information, a note appears in 你的活动. You can easily check this area at any time to see your application activity and to learn when we have acknowledged receipt of your form. Just log into your CollegeNET account and select "你的活动."

是的, the server stores all information you enter under the private username and password you establish.

关闭浏览器. This ends your secure connection and clears your password (unless you chose to save it).

No. You do not have to complete an application in one sitting. 例如, you can start working on an application at your library's computer facility, 保存您的工作, access the application at home on your personal computer, 然后继续工作. Wherever you have access to the internet, you have access to the information you have saved.

当您填写了多个申请时, common information you provided on the first form is entered automatically in all subsequent ones. 例如, if you have entered your name and address on an application and saved it, that information will be entered automatically on the next application you access (assuming, 当然, that the next form also has name and address fields). If you change information on one form, it is also changed on any other unsubmitted ones.
