Should you list a GRADUATE PROGRAM PROFESSOR on your application if you haven’t heard back from them?

I have a couple of GRADUATE SCHOOL applications that want the names of professors that I have contacted or discussed my graduate interests with. If I haven’t heard back from a professor or they have stated that they are on sabbatical or that they themselves are not taking on any new students, should I still list them? The directions are not clear about this and I wasn’t been given a clear answer by the grad programs.

Please ONLY RESPOND if you have GRADUATE SCHOOL experience.

    You shouldn't list a professor without his/her permission because people check into that and that could just lead to more problems
