• Pay application fee ($70 for domestic students, $90 for international).
• The on-line application asks you to enter three recommenders who have direct knowledge of your academic performance and potential for graduate study. You can mark them as either off-line or on-line recommenders. We prefer they be on-line. They will be sent an automatic email with instructions for submitting their recommendation. They do not need to provide additional hard copies of electronically submitted recommendation letters.

These transcripts must be issued by the institutions and sealed in original envelopes and sent to CTER directly from the issuing institutions. Have the transcripts sent to the address at the bottom of this page. You do not need to supply transcripts from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
