Graduate Admissions General Information

Congratulations on your decision to pursue your graduate education! Here are some general tips to ensure a smooth application process.   

• Check your program's application deadline(s), and work backward from the application deadline or start term.
• Start your online application, so you can receive application reminders and updates.
• Order your transcripts or transcript evaluation, and begin organizing your references, personal statements, and admissions tests (if required).
• Submit additional information that your graduate program may require, such as a resume, passing MTEL scores or educator license, or additional writing sample.  
• Once ALL materials are received, your file will be reviewed by the department. The turn-around time depends on each individual program. 
• Once an admissions decision is made, it will be posted in your navigator account and communicated to you via email.
