Application procedures

Forward the written instructor approvals to the Admissions Coordinator, Pam Larick, either by e-mail to Pam.Larick@mail.utexas.edu; by hand-delivery to the Sanchez Building, Room 504; or by regular mail to:

Pam Larick
Admissions Coordinator
Educational Psychology
The University of Texas
1 University Station, D5800
Austin, TX  78712

Applicants must send the Admissions Coordinator a signed Statement of Purpose which clearly outlines the number and titles of courses approved by the instructor, the reason the courses are needed, and that the applicant is not intending to apply as a degree-seeking student.

After the Admissions Coordinator receives the approvals and Statement of Purpose, she will contact the applicant regarding the on-line application procedure.  Final approval of the application is the responsibility of the Graduate Adviser, and applicants will be notified of the admissions decision after the Graduate Adviser’s review of the application.

** Applicants are strongly advised to secure instructor approval as early as possible to help ensure timely registration. Late applications will most likely be processed for a later semester.
