WHEN SHOULD I APPLY?
University accepts student applications on a continuous basis, so admission can occur any time during the year. Choosing an institution should be based upon a careful assessment of your priorities. We encourage applicants to become informed about all available options, so you feel confident about both the process and the end result when you select Global University.
Although you can apply throughout the year, we strongly advise you to submit your application as early as possible. This will enable us to process it more quickly, and ensure that you get your study materials earlier - giving you more time to prepare for exams. Please note that for some postgraduate courses there’s a limit to the number of students who can register each year.
Important note (undergraduate only):
Even if you’re waiting to get results for exams you’ve taken, please apply early as we may still be able to issue a conditional offer.
DEADLINES
The admissions process usually takes two to three weeks. Students can enroll as “Registered” while they submit transcripts, resumes, essays and any other admissions requirements. All applicants can apply electronically for admission at 'Get started now'. The Online Application will guide applicants through the admissions process, but an Admissions Officer is available by phone or email. An applicant can also request an application mail, email or fax. Applicants who would like their previous schools transcripts considered must request them. Unofficial transcripts are acceptable during the evaluation process, but official transcripts will be required.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: THE ADMISSIONS PORTFOLIO CONSISTS OF:
- Your online application form submitted with the $50 non-refundable application fee. Please visit www.globaluniversity.tc and click the "Get Started Now".
- The essay (included in the online application), 3-4 paragraphs describing your career objectives and how you see a degree supporting them, and your readiness for an online degree program.
- Your professional resume
- Official transcripts from any institution where you earned college credit and/or military service transcripts that you would like to be evaluated for transfer credit eligibility.
Optional items include professional certificates or diplomas, a manager's recommendation/reference letter or performance evaluation.
The objective with the portfolio is to create for the Admissions Committee a well-rounded picture of yourself as a working professional and prospective online learning student.
When your admissions portfolio is complete, The Admissions Officer submits the information to the Admissions Committee. The faculty deans will review your transcripts and award any transfer credit. Based on your personalized Degree Program Evaluation, they will make an acceptance determination and outline your program, tailored for you based on transfer credit and professional background. GUMT does not issue Prior Experiential Learning credit for years of workplace experience, but the committee does review the entire portfolio to determine the best program structure for each student.
