• Application : Send a completed Application for Admission (either by Applying Online , or completing an Application for Admission Form ) to the Graduate School.

• Fee : Enclose the application fee of $40 ( $50 for international students ), which is required for all new applicants to the Graduate School, including those earning their bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. We cannot accept cash or debit/credit cards.
• Academic records : Have TWO official transcripts sent to Graduate School Admissions from each college or university you have ever attended. We need official transcripts from every institution you have attended, even if coursework from one institution appears on the transcript of another institution. Transcripts issued to students are NOT official. If a degree was earned, the official transcripts must confirm the degree and the date it was received.
  
  

  If you have not yet received your baccalaureate degree, you must submit TWO official transcripts at the time of application. After completion of your degree, you must submit TWO official transcripts showing confirmation of the receipt of the degree.

  If you were previously enrolled or are currently enrolled at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, the Graduate School will obtain transcripts from the Registrar's Office at no charge to the applicant. Anyone who was previously enrolled in the Graduate School, but who is not currently enrolled, is required only to submit an application for admission (no fee) and official transcripts from institutions attended after your last attendance in the Graduate School at the University of Arkansas.

• Test scores (i.e., GRE, MAT) : If required by the department to which you are applying, have official scores sent to the U of A from the testing agency. The UA institutional code is 6866 .
• Degree-seeking applicants : Submit the following items directly to the director of the academic program in which you are interested (if required by the department): 1. Letters of recommendation; 2. Statement of interest; 3. Application for Assistantship

International Applicants

In addition to the above:

• Be sure to fill in a permanent address in your home country on the application form. It is required for the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) program AND send a photocopy of the name page in your passport. It is critical that your name in our records match your passport exactly. If you have not yet obtained a passport, please send a photocopy of your national ID card.
• Submit the Supplemental and Financial Information (with verification of funding) and the Summary of Educational Experience forms.
• Have the official IELTS or TOEFL score report sent (in addition, submit the official TSE if seeking a teaching assistantship).

Why Does the University Collect My Social Security Number?

A social security number (SSN) is required for administering student financial aid and for reporting to the IRS compensation due to UA employment; failure to provide the SSN may delay consideration for financial aid. The IRS also requires the University to provide SSN's along with other student information to verify tax credit eligibility. In addition, the SSN is used to match applicant records (such as grades and test scores) and to help track student and alumni records, although it is not mandated for such purposes. SSNs are maintained confidentially and used only for official business by the UA and affiliated entities and contractors, including for debt collection. Admitted students are issued a University i.d. number, which serves as the student's primary identifier and which is different from the SSN.
