Further requirements include:

Application Procedure

Applicants are expected to follow the next steps:

1. Apply to the Graduate College (use link at the top of page): Applications are accepted only in electronic format. Note that you will not be able to submit a paper application. If you are not an NAU graduate and need to submit transcripts, please send them to the Graduate College. The information is: Old Main/Ashurst, NAU Box 4125, telephone (928) 523-4348, and have official copies of all your transcripts sent to that office.
2. Complete the online MEd/Certificate in Ed Tech application (use the link at the top of the page), and secure advisement from the Ed Tech Coordinator (edtech-coordinator@nau.edu). Make sure to follow the instructions in the Part VI: Skills Performance page.
3. After the completion of steps 1 and 2, the student’s file will be reviewed and a committee will determine admittance to the program. If admitted, the student will be notified in writing.

Note: Your advisor will be the Ed Tech Coordinator, even if you are a statewide student or a distance learning student. You and your advisor will determine your Program of Study. This should be followed carefully in selecting courses you plan to take. Any exceptions should be approved in advance by your advisor, who must also approve any Petition for Transfer of Credit.
