Applying for funding through the TOP Grant
Print the
Application for the Graduate Specialization in Early
Intervention, complete and send to CCIDS. Also, send copies of
transcripts for all undergraduate and graduate coursework, along
with the application. These can be unofficial copies. [When applying
for admission to the Graduate School (see below) you will need to
submit official transcripts].
Print and sign the
Financial Support Agreement and send to CCIDS.
Once you have received confirmation that your application for TOP
funding has been approved, proceed with the remaining steps.
Do not sign up for any
SEI courses unless you have spoken with the coordinator
of the TOP grant! |

Applying for non-degree student status
If you would like to begin taking courses in the next month or so,
follow these steps:
Download the Application for Graduate Non-degree Status by scrolling
down the
University of Maine Graduate School website to find links
to the applications. You may also contact the Graduate School by
phone at 207/581-3219 or e-mail:
graduate@maine.maine.edu and
request the application.
If you are taking courses so you can apply for the State’s
endorsement, Teacher of Young Children with Disabilities, Birth to
School-Age 5, and do not wish to complete a master’s degree, you do
not need to apply to graduate school. Non-degree student status is
sufficient, and you should skip the following “Applying to Graduate
School” step. |

Applying to Graduate School
Visit the
University of Maine Graduate School website
and click on "apply online". You do not need to be accepted into
Graduate School to begin taking courses. Non-degree student status
is all that is required.
You will need to apply to the Graduate School if you wish to
complete a master’s degree, Certificate of Advanced Study, or a
doctorate.
Students must be accepted into graduate school prior to the
completion of the first 12 credits of graduate coursework (including
any credits which have been transferred) toward the degree or by the
third registration, whichever comes first. |

Registering for an Early Intervention course
See what courses are offered during the semester you are
registering, taking note of the deadlines and proposed ATM
locations.
Complete the course registration form (select from the two formats
below) and send it to the Graduate School. Directions for completing
the form are provided, along with the form.
Note: If you have non-degree status, your advisor’s signature is not
required on the registration form. |
