Student StudyingApplications for admission to graduate degree programs are submitted to the Office of Graduate Admission. Students are encouraged to submit an application and necessary documents at least 3 months before the term for which you applied begins. Applications are accepted throughout the year. Students may apply for admission for the fall, spring, or summer terms.

Academic records and examination results always must be submitted to Drake University in official form, which will differ from country to country. Faxed transcripts and transcripts photocopied without a fresh seal from the secondary or post-secondary school are not considered official records, and an admission decision cannot be made until the official records are submitted. Any translated record should be a literal translation, not an interpretative one, and should be accompanied by the original-language record. Both records should be freshly certified by the school, not by notaries or translators.
