Transcript:
An unofficial copy of your undergraduate transcript(s) uploaded as a PDF under the “Education” tab. With the exception of study-abroad transcripts, you should provide transcripts from every post-secondary educational institution you attended, even if transfer credits from one school appear on the transcripts of another. You will be required to provide an official transcript should you be offered admission to the Graduate Program in Creative Writing.
Curriculum Vitae:
A curriculum vitae or resume in pdf format is also required by the University, but please note that it is not a chief concern of the Program in Creative Writing.
Personal Statement:
A statement of approximately 500 words explaining your reasons for pursuing this graduate degree.
Recommendation Letter:
You will be asked to supply the names and email addresses of three recommenders. If you do not use a dossier service, each recommender will receive an email link to the online letter of recommendation form. If you do intend to use a dossier service, please confirm with that service the best way to proceed with an electronic application.
