Application for Graduate Studies (all RSED graduate programs) |
|
Step 1: Graduate School |
Submit official transcripts of all college work completed.
Submit all Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores from the past five years. As noted in the online application, you are to use the AU Code #1005 for your GRE scores.
Pay the $50.00 application fee. The fee may be paid with a credit card online, or via check. All of these items are to be sent to:
The Graduate School
Hargis Hall
Auburn University, AL 36849
(334) 844-4700
Once you have completed the above 4 requirements, your application will be forwarded to our department. If any of these materials are missing, the department cannot review your application. |
|
Step 2: Rehabilitation and Special Education Programs |
If you are applying to a Master's Program, you must submit 3 letters of recommendation to our department and a teaching certificate (if applicable). If you are applying to the Ph.D. Program, you must submit (a) a letter of intent, (b) three letters of recomendation, (c) a current resume; (d) writing samples, such as published articles and curriculum material (if you have any); and (e) reflections on your professional mission (i.e., your professional goals and objectives and your career plans upon completion of the Ph.D. program).

Step 3: Review and Recommendation |
|
First, program faculty will review your complete application, which consists of all requested material submitted to the Graduate School (Step 1) and the department (Step 2).
Second, faculty will make one of three recommendations to the Graduate School concerning your admission to the department: (a) unconditional admission; (b) conditional admission, good for one semester; or (c) denial of application. Major guidelines used in making these recommendations are based on past performance and achievement, scholarship potential, professionalism, and enrollment availability.
Third, the Graduate School will notify applicants of the action taken on his or her request for admission to Graduate Studies. If admitted, you will receive a letter from the Dean of the Graduate School containing your PIN and temporary password. Before you will be permitted to register, however, you will also need to submit a completed Medical Form to the Auburn University Medical Clinic (this form is waived for distance education students).
