Frequently Asked Questions

  1. If I am offered a GSSA , GSI, or GSRA appointment, am I eligible for GradCare without a social security number (SSN)?

    Yes. Students need to complete the regular enrollment process through Wolverine Access within the first 30 days of the appointment. You can also add eligible dependents who do not have a SSN to your health insurance during the enrollment process.

  2. If I am working as a social worker, would I still need to complete 912 internship hours (684 hrs. for advanced standing students)?

    Yes, however, students may be able to complete and employment-based field placement with their current organization. Students must have a different LMSW supervisor for their field hours, MSW level tasks in line with the competencies required for their pathway, and an affiliation agreement must be established with the University of Michigan and the organization.

  3. If I attended the School of Social Work or other colleges within the University of Michigan, do I have to send official transcripts for the Sexual Health Certificate Program?

    Yes, an electronic copy of your transcript must be submitted with your application.

  4. If I complete the MasterTrack certificate program can I apply to the Online MSW degree program?

    You may apply for the Online Master of Social Work (MSW) program before, during, or after starting or completing the MasterTrack Certificate program. Some students may want to have confirmation that they are fully admitted to the MSW program before purchasing the MasterTrack courses. Review the posted deadlines for the Online MSW Program and apply as early as possible.

  5. If I do not want an MSW degree after the MasterTrack Certificate program do I have to apply to the University of Michigan?

    No, but please keep in mind that these certificates are not credit bearing and therefore, are not transferrable to another university.

  6. If I need to cancel, how should I do it?

    Please view our policies page for cancellation information.

  7. If I'm admitted to the MSW program but cannot begin the program in the fall, can I defer admission?

    Admitted students may request deferment for one or two years. The Office of Student Services and Enrollment Management will review and make decisions on all deferment requests. Deferment requests may be submitted via email to ssw.msw.info@umich.edu.

  8. In the Joint PhD Program, what expenses can I use the money from my personal debit account to cover? What forms are required?

    The personal debit account can be used by each student needing to be recouped for expenses related to research, courses, travel to conferences, dissertation costs, etc. It will not be available to be used for emergencies, and funds cannot be given in advance. The money does not have to be paid back by the student.

    The Reimbursement and Certification form needs to be completed and turned in along with the personal debit form.
