Only if you are recommended for admission will you be required to submit official transcripts from all academic institutions listed on your application. Your offer of admission will be contingent upon the receipt and verification of your official transcripts. Teachers College reserves the right to rescind an offer of admission, if there is a discrepancy between the uploaded version/evaluation and the official original transcript(s).
Alumni from Teachers College prior to the year 2011 must resubmit transcripts other than a TC transcript. Alumni and current students do not need to submit a Teachers College transcript.
A course-by-course evaluation is required for all post-secondary credentials (undergraduate and graduate, if applicable) for academic coursework completed outside of the United States and Canada.

Wherever possible, letters of recommendation should be submitted from academic sources. However, if you have been out of school for a number of years, professional recommendations may be used in most cases.

HOUSING OPTIONSTeachers College offers a variety of housing options for single and married students, students with domestic partners, and single parents. There are approximately 650 spaces available for single students and 150 apartments for students with families. Our five residence halls are located within a two-block radius of the Teachers College campus.
We strongly encourage you to apply for financial aid and scholarship consideration. To be considered for any scholarship aid offered by Teachers College, applicants must complete the Scholarship Application located on the Application for Admission. This is the only opportunity you will have to indicate your interest in scholarships for the entire duration of your academic program. We encourage all applicants to complete the Scholarship Application, if they wish to be considered for scholarships during their course of study at TC.
FINANCIAL AID SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION FORMThe Financial Aid Scholarship Application is part of your degree Application for Admission through your online application account (www.tc.edu/apply). All students must complete the Scholarship Application to be considered for Teachers College scholarship. You will not be able to complete a Scholarship Application after you submit the degree Application for Admission. The Scholarship Application can only be submitted once during your course of study at TC. Scholarships are awarded on a funds-available basis, so it is in your best interest to meet your degree program’s early application deadline.
FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AIDIf you are eligible for federal financial aid, you must also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for any scholarships requiring demonstrated financial need. Students applying for Spring or Summer 2014 entry must use the 2013-2014 FAFSA, while Fall 2014 applicants must use the 2014-2015 FAFSA, available in January 2014. The FAFSA is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The institutional code for Teachers College is G03979.
FINANCIAL AIDAPPLYING FOR HOUSINGWe strongly encourage you to apply for housing as early as possible, as spaces are limited. You do not need to wait until your application for admission is complete in order to apply for housing.
The Application for Housing is available online through your application account (www.tc.columbia. edu/apply). There is a $30 non-refundable housing application fee.
Housing offers are based on the availability of units, receipt date of your housing application, and geographic priority. Applicants outside of a 30-mile radius of the greater New York City area have the highest priority for housing. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate all requests for housing.
Applicants to programs which meet exclusively during the summer (e.g. InStep, Summer Principals Academy) should apply for Summer Conference Housing directly through the Office of Residential services.
