You will have access to the application status check approximately 24-48 hours after submitting your online application.Resume Format Please follow the MPA Application Resume Guidelines (found in this packet) and use the MPA Application Resume Template for formatting and constructing your resume. Due to substantial MPA applicant volume, the MPA admissions and career services staff are unable to advise individual prospective students regarding resume content or format. However, we have provided detailed guidelines, a list of action words and a Word template to assist you. If admitted, you will use this format again during the MPA recruiting process and receive individualized attention from our MPA career consultants. They will work with you to fine-tune your resume content to maximize its effectiveness. Fee The application fee is $125. RL Two Letters of Recommendation You will be asked to provide the names and email addresses of your references in the "Employment, References, and Honors" section of the application. The Texas MPA accepts recommendation letters from academic and/or professional references. The application provides space for up to three references, but you can opt to leave one blank. In addition, you will be asked to decide whether or not you waive the right to view your letters after they are submitted. Please note that your references will be informed of your decision. After your application for admission is submitted and received at The University of Texas at Austin, the Graduate and International Admissions Center (GIAC) will send a Request for Reference email message to your references. The message will contain a link to a website where your references will be asked to complete an online questionnaire and upload a recommendation letter. After you have submitted your online application for admission, you can log into the application status check to monitor the status of your pending recommendation requests, resend the Request for Reference email or add a new reference. Transcript Submit a copy of an official transcript for each college or university attended. Failure to list all colleges on the application and provide those transcripts will be considered an intentional omission and may lead to the cancelation of your application for admission or withdrawal of your offer of admission. Transcripts from junior or community colleges should be submitted if you completed our pre-enrollment requirements or any accounting courses at these institutions.
