Help with Web Application Status Check
After you have successfully submitted a new application, you will receive an email with your username and password, for accessing BC’s Agora portal.
Using Portal, you can check your GSAS application status using the Application Status tab. You must select the school to which you applied. Students applying to additional BC graduate schools will receive one email containing the above information.
If you experience difficulty accessing Portal you may log directly into the Web Application Status Check with either your Social Security number or your confirmation number. If you are unsure what your confirmation number is, please contact the Admissions Office.
