Application Process

You may search the list in the Graduate Programs section above to find the program you're interested in. Click on the corresponding Semester(s) Available link to go to the application.

Enter the following information in the Create Account section:

A username of 6-50 characters.
Your primary email address. Do not use a shared email address. This email should be accessed by you alone.
Your first name.
Your last name.
Your current postal code.
Your date of birth in mm/dd/yyy format.  You may use the calendar function.
A password, using a minimum of six characters
Re-enter the password from the previous field.
Click on the Create Account button to start the process. You will receive a system-generated verification email within a few hours. Your account is active after it is verified. 

By creating an account, you can start your application, save and return to your application until you are ready to submit. Your application is composed of several parts, some which are determined by the program’s admission requirements and you may submit these requirements through your online application.

The Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é collects biographical information as part of your permanent student record. Some of the information we collect is used to determine your residency status.

The Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é does not discriminate based on age, race, gender, veteran status, sexual orientation or genetic information. Some of the information you provide is used to determine if any additional requirements are needed to submit your application.

Some programs require that you provide one, two or three letters of recommendation.

You may register your recommenders through your application. All you need to register your recommender is name and email address. The application site will email your recommenders and notify them that they have been asked to provide a letter of recommendation on your behalf. As a professional courtesy, you should notify your recommenders personally of your request, and follow up to ensure they were contacted by the application software, as sometimes those emails get lost in spam boxes.

Beyond unofficial transcripts and test scores, if applicable, you may need to upload other documents, such as a statement of purpose, a resume, or another form of document.

Prior to submitting your application, you must pass the application inspector, which checks your application for missing documents. Once you have successfully passed the inspector, you can make payment for your application by credit card or electronic check through secure checkout. Once you have submitted your application, an automated confirmation email will be sent to you, and signifies your application is on its way to the Graduate School.

U.S. Citizens, U.S. Permanent Residents and Mexican Nationals are assessed a $45 application fee.

International students are assessed an $80 application fee.

If you would like to CONTINUE your application or check the status, log back into .  DO NOT create a new application.

You may not be required to apply for a graduate certificate program if you are currently accepted in a Graduate or Doctoral degree program.  Contact your program for details. 

Please send required official documents (including transcripts) to:

UTEP Graduate School
Administration Bldg. Room 200
