Students at Landmark Learning

Graduate Students:

1. Complete the online graduate application and remit your application fee.  Be sure to write down your PIN and put it in a safe place for later use.
2. If you have a copy of your transcripts (either graduate or undergraduate) scan those and email them to sfouts@wcu.edu
3. You MUST submit an official transcript before grades are entered. Have an official transcript sent to:

        Dr. Susan Fouts
        Director of Continuing Education and Contract Programs
        138 Camp Building
        Western Carolina University

4. Once your application is complete, you will receive an email from grad@wcu.edu with an “offer of admission.”  As you are aware, full-time graduate applicants often apply to multiple universities seeking admission.  The communication in this email says in layman’s terms “You can come to WCU.”

Please note the following paragraph:
To accept or decline the offer of admission for the Spring 20XX semester, please login to the Apply Yourself response form.

5. You must click on the “response form” link and complete the form.  You will need your PIN from Step 1.
6. Within a few days after completing this step, you will receive a pdf document via email.
7. Please print this document and put it with other important papers. This document contains your student identification number.  As you know, communication is more efficient with any University using your student ID number. 
8. If you have any questions about this process, contact us by email at sfouts@wcu.edu or learn@wcu.edu.  You may contact us by phone at 828-227-7397.
