Admissions Review Toolkit

# Admissions Review Toolkit

To support programs as they admit the graduate students that make up our vibrant educational community, the Graduate College has developed an [admissions review toolkit](http://choose.illinois.edu/portal/gc_holistic_admissions).

This toolkit is designed to serve as a resource to graduate departments and their admissions committees. You will find guidance and best practices designed to aide departments conducting admissions reviews for graduate applicants, along with holistic admissions resources.

The University of Illinois strives to cultivate students and future alumni to be responsible citizens and leaders who value knowledge, creativity, global awareness, and social and cultural understanding. Our vision, as part of [the university’s strategic priorities](https://strategicplan.illinois.edu/), is to create “an institution committed to excellence in discovery, teaching, and research, and a climate where all can achieve their highest aspirations in a safe and welcoming environment.”

- What You’ll Find in the Toolkit

  - Guidance and best practices for admissions committees
  - Holistic review strategies and resources
  - Holistic admissions training for graduate faculty and administrators
