  1. PSU Graduate School Application for Admission.

  2. Two official transcripts of all prior college or university studies.

  3. Completed curriculum checksheet outlining remaining course requirements.

Applicants may wish to follow-up their transcript requests to see that they have been sent and received. Delays in processing admission applications often result from non-receipt of transcripts.

An application is reviewed by the faculty of the appropriate option area. However, an application is not reviewed until ALL application materials listed in the preceding section have been received. Action on an application for the certification programs usually is taken within 30 days after all materials are received.

If an applicant has not received an acknowledgement letter within 30 days of sending an application, contact the Advising and Certification Center.
