Applying online is an easy, three-step process:

  • Step 1: Before you complete and submit the online application form, be sure to review supporting materials, including personal statement details. (Use a password and PIN to stop and resume a previously begun application as often as necessary.)

  • Step 2: Pay the $60 application fee online. A $30 express mail fee is optional for those applicants living abroad who want express mail notification of decisions. Payment by check or money order is also acceptable. Applications received without fees are not processed. Application fees are non-refundable.

  • Step 3: Send supporting materials (including the fee, unless paid online) to the appropriate graduate admissions office. Decisions cannot be rendered on incomplete applications. It is the applicants responsibility to ensure that all required documents are available for review by the program's stated deadline.

 

FURTHER INFORMATION

  • Deadlines: Domestic application deadlines vary by program. Applicants living abroad must apply by November 1 for spring and by April 1 for fall unless the graduate program specifies an earlier deadline.
  • Check application status: Online applicants can check their status within 24 hours of online fee payment.
  • Nondegree graduate study: Nondegree students should complete the general online application and select 'Nondegree Study' when asked. Many graduate schools and programs offer nondegree graduate study. Before applying, check the schedule of classes for course availability. It is also recommended that you contact the graduate program prior to enrollment. Special permission numbers from academic programs may be required for registration. In most cases, neither letters of recommendation, transcripts, nor test scores are required for nondegree study. Please consult with the graduate program for more information. A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution is required. Non-native speakers of English and those whose bachelor’s degrees were obtained outside the United States must submit a current Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score. Nondegree graduate study is not available to international students outside of the country or in the US under F visa status. In most cases, students are limited to taking a total of 12 cumulative credits as nondegree students. In addition, in most cases, students are limited to taking a maximum of 6 credit hours per semester of enrollment.
  • Programs of study: Apply for only one degree within a program. Consult the index of graduate programs to find information on degrees offered, program deadlines, campus locations, and specific application requirements.
  • Multiple applications: You may apply to more than one graduate program by returning to your original application and selecting 'Apply to Another Program.' (Do not begin a new application under a different student ID.) Do not submit mulitple applications for the same program.   Since each program usually has its own admissions committee, each application requires a separate fee and separate supporting materials which should be specific to the program sought.
  • Reapplication: To reapply to the same program, submit a letter requesting reapplication along with a $60 application fee, a new letter of recommendation, and an updated personal statement. Contact the program to determine if additional credentials are required. If more than a year has elapsed since the first application, repeat the entire admissions process. Physical therapy and programs in applied psychology require a new application and set of credentials for any reapplication.
  • Fee Waivers: McNair scholars and other applicants eligible for fee waivers, should indicate on the application in the Academic Honors and Awards area that they are McNair scholars or that they fall into another fee waiver category. When they submit the application, they should not pay the fee. A letter documenting their eligible fee waiver status should be provided with their supporting credentials.
  • Tuition and Fees: A complete table of graduate tuition and fees may be obtained on the Student Accounting website. Tuition and fees are established every July.
