Process for GSE Non-Matriculated Students

The Graduate School of Education has instituted a new online application for non‐matriculated students.

• Interested candidates should create an application in Technolutions Slate, our online application system.
• Courses for non‐matriculated candidates will be suggested and approved by GSE faculty based on student interests and program guidelines for specific academic programs in teaching, educational leadership, counseling, school psychology, and interdisciplinary research.
• Candidates will register themselves for classes after being approved by a faculty member and receiving a confirmation email from the GSE admissions office with registration instructions.

If candidates are unsure of what program or type of courses you are interested in, they should contact Abraham Johnson, Interim Director of Admissions and Enrollment Services, at [email protected].

1. Complete the online application for non‐matriculated students. Upload a copy of an undergraduate/graduate transcript that indicates completion of the degree or a copy of an undergraduate/graduate diploma. These can be unofficial or student copies.
