Can I be included in the CC for email updates about my application?
Yes, universities generally allow you to be copied on application emails if you request it. Send a short email to the admissions office asking to be included in the CC of any future correspondence about your application, and most offices will honour this for one applicant without issue.
You can absolutely ask to be kept in the loop on your own application. Universities routinely accommodate this kind of request, since being copied on an email is a standard way to keep an additional recipient informed of updates.
How to Request It
| Step | What to Do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Identify the correct admissions or applicant support email address for your specific program |
| 2 | Write a brief, polite email stating your name and application or applicant ID |
| 3 | Ask directly to be included in CC on any future updates or correspondence |
| 4 | Follow up once if you do not hear back within a reasonable time |
Sample Wording
You can use something close to this: Dear Admissions Team, I am an applicant and would like to kindly ask if I may be included in the CC of any future email updates or correspondence regarding my application. I would appreciate being kept informed of any updates or further steps. Thank you for your assistance. Kind regards, followed by your full name and application ID if you have one.
My Advice
Always include your application or applicant ID in the request, since admissions teams handle hundreds of files and a name alone can slow down the response. If a parent, agent or counsellor is helping you with the application, this same request works for adding them in CC instead of yourself, just specify clearly whose email address should be added.
