FAQs
What paperwork do I need to submit with my application?
Your application is submitted online. Additionally, please submit your official transcript from your Bachelor’s degree, along with an official transcript evaluation if your baccalaureate degree is from an institution outside of the United States. You will also need to upload a copy of your government-issued photo ID with your application materials. If you have any questions about what to submit with your application or how to send us your documents, please speak with your admissions representative or contact our admissions team at admissions@moreland.edu.
Do you accept applicants who do not meet the GPA requirement?
Yes, we may still accept applicants who do not meet the GPA requirement but have demonstrated comparable professional experience. Speak with your admissions representative or contact our admissions team at admissions@moreland.edu if you have further questions about fulfilling the GPA requirement.
Do you support applicants with transcript evaluation?
We partner with several NACES organizations and your admissions representative can help to answer your questions and guide you throughout the transcript evaluation process. However, you are responsible for completing the transcript evaluation process independently. You can learn more about the credential evaluation process here, review our NACES evaluation guide here, or find FAQs about transcript evaluation here.
What happens after I submit my application?
After you submit your application, you will hear from an admissions representative within 24 hours. If you have not yet submitted all of your materials (transcript, transcript evaluation if required, government-issued photo ID), then your admissions representative will support you to submit those materials. After your completed application and supporting materials are reviewed, your application will either be accepted or rejected. If your application is accepted, you will be able to complete the enrollment process. This includes signing the enrollment agreement and submitting your tuition deposit. Once your enrollment is complete, you will be able to select a cohort start date and begin preparations for the program!
Is there a cost to apply?
