We aim to keep you fully informed of the progress of your application through the LSE website. For information on any delays or special factors affecting the admission process, please see www.lse.ac.uk/collections/graduateAdmissions

Once you have been allocated your unique application number, you can check the progress of your own application, and inform us of any changes by using our automated online and telephone systems.

Make a note of your application number and use it when checking your status and in all correspondence with the Graduate Admissions office, including by telephone.
To see the current status of your application, go to Track your application – this information is linked directly to our computer system. What you see here is the same information we hold centrally. If you need to advise us of a change of address, you should use the link on the tracking system to do so. Later in the admissions process, the online tracking system will also have links to your financial support application, individual LSE for You account, and links to apply for accommodation, choose courses/modules and pay your tuition fees online.
To inform us of any changes to your application, to send additional information or to inform us of your decisions regarding your application, you should use the online forms available at How do I?
Telephone +44 (0)20 7955 7160 either to speak to a member of the Graduate Admissions Team Monday to Friday 9.45am-5.15pm (local time) or access automated summary information at any time.
All of your personal data is kept confidential, and we are therefore not able to discuss your application with any third party unless specifically nominated by you on your application form.

The website and admissions enquiry system are the quickest and most comprehensive ways of answering any questions you may have. Please visit these sites before contacting the Graduate Admissions Office. If your question cannot be answered by reference to online resources, you can contact us by email via www.lse.ac.uk/admissionsenquiries

If you write to or email us, your enquiry will be dealt with in strict rotation and it may take us some time to reply, though we shall try to do so within one working week. Please do not repeat the enquiry until after this time has elapsed as this diverts staff from other work and delays the admissions process.

The Graduate Admissions Office is closed for ten days over Christmas and New Year and for a week over the Easter period. This results in a backlog of correspondence and increased processing times during January and April especially.

Please check the current processing dates at www.lse.ac.uk/collections/graduateAdmissions/breakingNews/currentProcessing.htm before contacting us to enquire whether your documents have been received. As soon as your documents are processed they will appear on your record on the tracking system.
