*According to their schedule, your designated dean’s office will upload the MSPE to the ERAS PostOffice. The MSPE (along with other ERAS documents) are transmitted from the Dean’s Office Workstation (DWS) to the ERAS PostOffice, and are placed in the programs’ mailboxes. Most uploaded files become available immediately; the MSPEs, however, are held until October 15th for osteopathic residency programs and November 1st for allopathic residency programs.
Note:

* If timeline dates fall on a federal holiday, the activity will take place on the next business day

Program Application Deadlines

ERAS does not set program application deadlines as the individual programs set the deadlines. You should contact programs directly for their deadlines. The ERAS PostOffice, however, closes on May 31st (unless otherwise indicated) every year to prepare for the next ERAS application season. At that time all of our servers are purged of all applications and supporting documents. ERAS does not maintain records from year to year.
