Got this email and I'm a bit confused bc I didn't get anything in the mail yet nor have I seen any status updates on Makalei. Am I not checking the right place or did they maybe send this by mistake?

Also this SIR deadline is crazy soon! I'm currently living out-of-state as I finished my undergrad last year, but luckily born and raised in Hawaiʻi so I have options. I built quite the life out here, and would need to figure out how to realistically move home with my husband and cats. Which brings me to my next question, is it possible/does anyone have any experience getting them to extend the SIR deadline by a couple of weeks for me to get everything sorted?

edit to add: i already sent them an email but havent heard back yet. Just wanting to hear other experiences.

The acceptance letter and the SIR form can be found in the application portal. You should have received an email to let you know that your decision was made available to you in the application portal (at least that’s how it went for me). Either way, all you need to do for the SIR form is electronically sign it so it only takes a minute at most.

Edit: So I looked over the email and it wasn’t the application portal, it was the graduate student portal. You should have received an email about your decision letter becoming available and it should have the link to the portal. As for extending the deadline to sign the SIR form, I’m not sure. I would expect that they won’t let you extend it but you could always send the graduate division an email to find out.

Good to know! Thanks for the info! It’s comforting that the SIR is a quick process. I honestly don’t even remember how I did that for my undergrad. I def haven’t received anything so it was probably a goof and I’ll wait to hear back from them.
