Admission Change for Master of Teaching

The Master of Teaching program admits students into summer and fall terms only. Students are not admitted to start in the spring.

Notice About Specific Programs

Not all of our programs are all suited for international students.

The M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction and the post-bachelor’s certificate in Data Analytics are entirely online programs and do not meet the in-person instruction requirements for international students on F-1 visas, who are not permitted to apply.

Because the Master of Teaching program is designed for part-time students, the VDOE licensure application requirements, the clinical practicum experience, and the complex requirements for F-1 student visas, MT applications, for both elementary and secondary/comprehensive candidates, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Additionally, the Master of Organizational Effectiveness and the post-bachelor’s certificate in Cybersecurity and Information Systems are not yet approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for international students on F-1 visas, who are currently not permitted to apply.

Non-Degree Seeking Applications

We offer two procedures for taking credit-earning courses without enrolling in a degree-seeking program.

Additional Information

General Application Guidelines

  1. Have original transcripts for ALL college-level work sent to the School. You may use the Transcript Request Form for non-UR transcripts.
  2. Review financial aid requirements: Submit the FAFSA, contact the Financial Aid Office and apply for SPCS scholarships.
  3. Make arrangements to submit required supporting materials. Requirements vary by program and are detailed in the online application.

Please budget plenty of time for other institutions to submit transcripts and to put financial aid plans in order. These items commonly delay admissions decisions and enrollment, so early action is important.

Returning to a Started Application

Once you’ve started an application, visit the application portal to return to the application. Do not start a new application. If you apply for the wrong term, please contact the Admissions Team.

Re-Enrollment

When “life happens,” sometimes you have to pause your education. If you’ve taken a break from your degree program here at SPCS and you’re ready to get back onto coursework, we’re ready to help.

Visit our Re-Enrollment page to see the steps you’ll need to take. In many cases, you only need to complete a brief online form to be re-instated. In other cases, you may need to re-apply, but don’t worry — we’ll waive the re-application fee.
