Application Information

In preparation for your graduate application, make sure to review the admissions requirements of the program you are applying to on the Graduate Degree Programs page, as requirements and deadlines may vary.

  • Official Transcripts: must be sent from the Registrar of each college you have attended.
    • Transcripts from U.S. institutions or English-speaking Canadian institutions should be sent directly to the centralized application systems (CAS). For more information on how to send transcripts, please visit the Help Center.

Please Note: Applicants who previously attended FAU do not need to send their FAU transcripts.

  • Test Scores: GRE or GMAT may be required by some programs. If required, you will self-report scores into the Centralized Application System (CAS), but you will need to request your official scores be sent to FAU directly. The FAU school codes are below.
    • FAU's school code for the GRE is 5229
    • FAU's school code for the GMAT is 9LX
  • Supplemental Information  will be uploaded directly to the centralized application system.
  • Foreign Credential Evaluation: Graduate applicants who completed all or part of their education abroad are required to have their foreign credentials evaluated. Depending on the program, the evaluation required will be a “general” or a “course-by-course” evaluation with a grade point average from each institution attended. Applicants have two options for obtaining foreign credential evaluations:
     
    • Option 1)  Choose an independent evaluating company that is a  National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES)  member, and send transcripts directly to the evaluating company. Examples include World Education Services (WES) and The Evaluation Company (TEC).  Evaluations by NACES member organizations must be completed with authenticated documents. Evaluations completed by NACES members should be sent directly to FAU Graduate College at: Florida Atlantic University, Graduate College, SU-80, Room 101, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA
    • Option 2)  Florida Atlantic University will evaluate transcripts internally. Note: Evaluations completed by FAU are only valid for FAU admission purposes. Official transcripts and English translations (for official documents in languages other than English) must arrive in English 30 days prior to the application deadline for FAU to evaluate them internally. To find more information on internal evaluations, visit our  Foreign Credential Evaluation Page.
