Once a location for an off-campus site is chosen, usually an informational meeting for educators in surrounding areas is advertised and held. The meeting is simply informational and there is no obligation for those who attend. If you are unable to attend the informational meeting, you may contact Nancy Brownell at nbrowne@bgnet.bgsu.edu or (419)372-7359 for additional information, and you must contact her if you decide to apply.

[Steps for applying to the Master's of Education in Classroom Technology Program]

Once you have decided to apply to the program follow these steps, detailed below, to complete the application process.

Application forms are available through links below, but you may also obtain them in print at an informational meeting or dinner, or by contacting Nancy Brownell at nbrowne@bgnet.bgsu.edu or (419)372-7359.

If you are applying less than two months before the first class starts, do the following two tasks first:

1. Complete a graduate guest registration application for the first course. This form, titled " Graduate Non-Degree Application," allows you to be registered as a guest student at the graduate level, i.e., a graduate who is not yet accepted into a degree program.

1. Download the Graduate Non-Degree Application Form, in pdf format.
2. Mail the form to Nancy Brownell, School of Teaching and Learning, 529 Education Building, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403, (419) 372-7359, or fax the form to Nancy Brownell at 419.372.8265.
3. If your undergraduate degree was earned at the University of Toledo, Ohio State University, Wright State University or Indiana University, attach or send a copy of your transcript to Nancy. This copy does not have to be an official transcript, and only a transcript from the degree-awarding university, if one of the above, is required.

2. Complete a Financial Responsibility form. Mail the form to Nancy Brownell, School of Teaching and Learning, 529 Education Building, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403, (419) 372-7359, or fax the form to Nancy Brownell at 419.372.8265. (Ignore mailing directions on the form.)

3. Complete a Registration form. (This is a new step with a new form) Mail the form to Nancy Brownell, School of Teaching and Learning, 529 Education Building, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403, (419) 372-7359, or fax the form to Nancy Brownell at 419.372.8265. (Ignore mailing directions on the form.)

• In the "Course Selection" area: if this is your first course in the program, Dept = EDTL, Course Number = 631, Hrs = 3, and Grade should be checked. Other information may be left blank.
• Under "Please Complete the Following" enter the last term and year you attended BGSUor check the appropriate box.
• Under "Admission Status" check "Masters" if you have already been acccepted in to this program, otherewise check"Gradute/Non-Degree."
• Be sure to sign the form.

4. Send a letter of interest to Nancy Brownell via e-mail at nbrowne@bgnet.bgsu.edu or via postal mail at School of Teaching and Learning, 529 Education Building, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403.

In the letter include:

1. Specification of the cohort to which you are applying, such as "On-Campus/Perrysburg Cohort, Summer, 2008" or "Sandusky Cohort, Fall 2008."
2. One to three paragraphs describing your experience with technology, and particularly technology in the classroom.
3. One to three paragraphs describing what interests you about earning a master's degree in classroom technology. (Why are you applying for this program?)

5 & 6. Complete the Graduate College application.

Contact Information: The Graduate College, 120 McFall Center, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, Phone: (419) 372-2791. Web site: http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/gradcol/

1. You may apply online to the Graduate College at http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/gradcol/page24959.html or request the printed form from the Graduate College.

   The application web site also links to a program page for more program specific information. Rather than going to that link, which is a Graduate College page with incomplete information, return back to this page for application details.

   If you apply via paper, send it to the Graduate College.

2. When applying, be sure to indicate that you are requesting a program/degree from the College of Education and Human Development, and that you are requesting the Classroom Technology Program.

(Choosing a degree in the Career and Technology Education program is a common mistake and, unfortunately, slows the application process considerably.)

3. Have two official transcripts from each college you have attended sent to the Graduate College (Official transcripts from BGSU courses do not have to be requested.) A transcript request form in Microsoft Word format is available, if you wish to use it. Send the form to the university from which you are requesting transcripts.

Transcripts should be sent directly from each higher education instution you have attended to the Graduate College.

7. Have three letters of reference sent to:

Nancy Brownell, School of Teaching and Learning, 529 Education Building, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403 or have the referring person send the reference via email directly to nbrowne@bgsu.edu. At your option, reference forms (pdf format) may be used in place of, or in addition to, letters.

8. Schedule the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test and have results sent to the BGSU Graduate College. Read more about the GRE. Fully detailed GRE information is available at the GRE web site, http://www.gre.org/.

9. Have the Dispositions form completed and submitted by an administrator.

1. Download and print the Dispositions form (http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/edhd/mct/KA24aDispositions.pdf)
2. Enter your name and your university ID or social security number in the spaces at the top. Leave the "Class/Experience and/or Location" blank.
3. Ask an administrator, or the administrator's choice of a person who knows you well, to complete the form and send it to Nancy Brownell, School of Teaching and Learning, 529 Education Building, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403.
