- However, you are invited and encouraged to submit your paperwork during designated time blocks, when the Dean will be available to answer any questions, chat with you, and congratulate you! If you would like to meet with the Dean but cannot be available during these designated times, you may request a phone call or separate meeting time. Also, if you wish to meet with the Dean, you do not need to do so by the deadline on the GSAS Academic Calendar, as long as your paperwork is completed by then.
