Before Applying to a Graduate Program

1. Admission to decisions at the graduate level are made by the individual academic departments and requirements vary by program. Review the Program Checklist for all required materials.
2. Before you submit your application, scan unofficial transcripts, etc., and be prepared to upload files to the Office of Graduate Admissions through the online application on the Office of Graduate Admissions website.
3. Request Official Transcripts at least a month before the deadline, which must be received either as a sealed document or accessed by the Office of Graduate Admissions through a secure access code. Official transcripts should be sent to the Office of Graduate Admissions.
4. Letters of Recommendation need to be typed letters from academic or professional sources. Be sure to notify references that they will be asked to write a letter for you and give them at least three weeks to complete the letter. Letters must be on letterhead, signed and then sent by the reference to graduateadmissions@mga.edu.  Letters can also be faxed, mailed, or scanned to the Office of Graduate Admissions.
