Graduate Certificate, Licensure and Endorsement Admission
Each applicant must:
-
posses a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university
-
have a grade point average of 3.00 or better (on a 4.0 point scale) on the most recent 60 semesters hours
Applicants pursuing a graduate certificate, licensure, or endorsement must take the following steps to be considered for admission:
- Complete the online application and pay the non-refundable application fee.
- All official transcripts, submitted as part of the application process, are retained by UNC and not returned to applicants or admitted students. Request one official transcript from every accredited college or university attended or from which you earned credit, except UNC. While it is not necessary to request a transcript from UNC, it is required to be listed as a prior college on the application. Official transcripts from each college are required, even if courses taken at one institution are listed on another school’s transcript. This includes concurrent enrollment courses taken while in high school through an accredited college and exclude study abroad transcripts. An official transcript are sent via mail in an unopened sealed envelope or through an electronically secure digital program directly from the issuing institution. Mailed transcripts are sent to UNC Graduate School & International Admissions, 501 20th Street, Campus Box 135, Greeley, CO 80639. Electronic transcripts are sent to grad.applicationmaterials@unco.edu. We do not accept emailed, scanned, or PDF transcripts directly from the student. UNC retains submitted transcripts, from institutions other than UNC, for admitted students for up to five years after graduation or date of last attendance at UNC. Transcripts provided by applicants who were not admitted, denied admissions or did not complete their application are destroyed after one (1) year. The Graduate School will make every attempt to use previously-submitted transcripts if they are within these time frames. However, if the Graduate School cannot locate previously submitted transcripts, the transcripts fall outside the time frames listed above, or they are considered illegible, applicants must provide new transcripts.
- Your program may require other items such as letters of recommendation, GRE scores; please check with the program.
