Frequently Asked Questions

Why are two official transcripts required?
The University policy is to collect two official copies of each transcript which the graduate applicant has. One set of the transcripts will be marked ADVISEMENT and sent to the applicants department upon admission to be used for that purpose. This procedure prevents having to re-request information for the department/school after admission.

Is it possible to take any of the graduate entrance tests GMAT, MAT or GRE for any TROY-Dothan program?
The exception is the MBA program for which the GMAT is the required test. In the other
degree programs, the applicant must choose either the MAT or GRE.

How do I arrange to take the Millers Analogy Test?
This is the only graduate test which TROY-Dothan Campus administers. Applicants can arrange to take it by calling the Finance and Business Affairs Office at 334-983-6556 extension #212 or by calling the branch office number at Fort Rucker 334-598-2443 for further information. Payment is required at the time the reservation is taken and it is advisable to make arrangements to take the test well in advance of the test date. It takes about 3 weeks for the official score report to arrive at the university.

Is there an application deadline?
Yes. The date is on the graduate application which is on the web. The date is set one month prior to registration.

If I submit an application and am unable to attend the term which I had indicated but wish to enroll later will I be required to submit another application?
The hard copy application is retained for one year; however, materials that have been submitted are retained for a maximum of three years from the term of application. If an applicant did not enroll and it has been less than one year, he/she should call the Graduate Admissions Office and ask to have the application updated to another term. Otherwise, if it was within the past three years another application must be completed but another application fee is not assessed.

How current must the test score be?
All test scores submitted must be within the past 5 years. Otherwise, the test must be retaken and submitted.

Can I complete a master’s degree on the weekend?
No. There are a few courses that are offered in the weekend format; however, a degree can not be completed with weekend course offerings.
