- Can I apply even if I am not graduated yet or I still have not received my diploma?
Yes, you can still apply as long as you are planning to effectively graduate in time for the enrolment period. For example, If you plan to apply in January, but will graduate in July, you can still fill out the application. At the time of the application you will need a document (e.g. Transcript of Records) that shows the exams that you have done until that moment.
