Before beginning your application, please review the Graduate Bulletin for program-specific deadlines and required supplementary application materials, as well as curriculum, specialization, track and degree information.

Further instructions for U.S. citizens and permanent residents applying for admission are available on the Graduate School Web site. International applicants to the Graduate School should refer to the Office of International Education for application instructions and materials.

Once you are ready to begin your application, you may choose to submit a standard application or initiate the process online. VCU’s self-managed graduate application process places the responsibility on the student to collect and return all supporting materials in one packet.

Supplemental application materials (when applicable) such as reference letters, resumes, personal statements/essays or other program specific documentation must be sent directly to the program for which you are applying. The paper application or signature page from the Web application, transcripts and test scores should be submitted directly to the Graduate School at:

Virginia Commonwealth University
Graduate School
Moseley House
1001 Grove Avenue
P.O. Box 843051
Richmond, Virginia 23284-3051

Note: Some programs require all documents to be sent to the Graduate School.

If you have any questions or need assistance, contact the admissions staff in the Graduate School.
