Application Procedures

Thank you for your interest in SFA's graduate studies. Once you know your desired program or certificate, visit Apply Texas as a first step in the official application process. Be sure to pay the application fee as required. Some programs require a secondary application directly to the program. Review the requirements of each program, attending to their specific application deadlines and requirements.

Next, request each previous university or college you have attended send your official transcripts by email to the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. If a Graduate Management Admission Test or Graduate Record Examination are required, schedule your exam and have your scores reported to SFA. SFA's Testing Center might be an option for an on-campus testing location.

Look for a text from SFA as applications and documentation are received by ORGS. SFA will also send a letter in the mail with instructions on how to access your mySFA account. You will be able to view which documents have been received and what may still be needed. You will also be able to view financial aid and other pertinent information at mySFA.
