Application Process for
Graduate Programs in Education

1. Have your CLAST or GRE scores sent to COE Graduate Admissions (or include the CLAST score report form or transcripts with the scores reported).

2. Complete the Application as a Degree Seeking student and submit it to the Graduate Admissions Office. You can apply on-line by going to Graduate Online Application or call 974-8801.

3. Have your transcripts sent to the Graduate School Admissions Office.

4. Once the admissions packet is complete it is sent to COE and the Education Program for consideration.

5. The Education Program will recommend your admission, contact you for additional information if required, defer admission until you meet the necessary criteria, or deny admission.

6. The Graduate Admissions Office notifies you of the admissions decision.

7. If admitted, you are then eligible to register for courses for the upcoming term.

8. Download the form for your degree and register for courses based on the recommended course sequence.

9. Once fully admitted, complete a copy of your degree's Program Plan and make an appointment during your first semester with your advisor to review and approve your program. The Program Plan is for your benefit. Once it is approved, your individual program will only be changed for your benefit. You are then expected to manage your program plan to completion. Selection of electives, changes in the planned sequence of courses, and the number of courses taken in a semester do not require a modification to the approved Program Plan or consultation with your advisor.

10. Register for available courses required in your program on the Internet using OASIS. Courses may be taken at any campus. Each department recommends a sequence but you may vary from that recommendation unless there is a prerequisite.
