Submit official college and university transcripts. Many institutions subscribe to the convenient transcript-request service at National Student Clearinghouse, or you may also contact your institution directly. Have transcripts sent to the Graduate and Professional Studies office (gradtranscripts@southern.edu). If you earned your prerequisite degree at Southern, you do not need to complete this step.

Submit two recommendation forms from a college professor, work supervisor, or social-work field instructor. This should be done as part of the online application process.

Schedule a faculty interview after completing your Graduate application from your Application Status Page.
