The standard application package of the University of Georgia requires that all applicants to graduate school send the following materials directly to the Graduate Admissions Office:
- A completed application form.

- Official transcripts from colleges and universities attended in the past.
The Department of Adult Education requires that the following additional materials be sent directly to the Graduate Coordinator (Graduate Coordinator, Department of Adult Education, River's Crossing, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602).
