What materials do I need to submit?

Transcripts
You must submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions you have attended. An "official transcript" is sent directly from the institution to our office. If you attended Cleveland State University the Graduate Admissions staff will obtain that transcript. Graduate Admissions will accept hand-delivered transcripts if they are presented in the issuing institution's sealed envelope and bear the appropriate seals and signatures.

Application Fee
Degree-seeking, certificate, and licensure applicants must pay a one-time, non-refundable application fee of $30.00. The fee can be paid electronically through the on-line application, or it may be paid by check or money order. Make the check payable to Cleveland State University and send the check to the Office of Graduate Admissions.
