      TOEFL scores. For more information, please see
      http://grad.arizona.edu/admissions/admissions-requirements/international-students

Admission Process:
Prospective students must apply to both SIRLS and to the UA Graduate College. An
online admission application form is at https://apply.grad.arizona.edu/ and can be used
for both SIRLS and the UA Graduate College. The UA Graduate College requires an
application fee; SIRLS does not.

In addition to the application form, prospective students must submit:
    • A current resumé or curriculum vitae
    • Two letters of recommendation
    • A written statement of introduction
    • Two official transcripts from each college you have attended
    • GRE scores

Before students can actually register for courses, the UA requires proof of immunization
against measles, rubella, and mumps if born after 1956; if born prior to 1956, you are
exempt from this requirement. The UA also requires proof of residency status.

Starting SIRLS:

Foundation of Library and Information Services. It is offered three times per year, twice
in the summer and once in the Winter Session. IRLS 504 begins online with two weeks
of independent reading assignments followed by a seven-day residency period during
which all new students spend seven days (from 8am to about 6pm) on the UA campus in
Tucson. For information about IRLS 504, please see http://sirls.arizona.edu/IRLS504

Financial Aid:
SIRLS offers both scholarships and graduate assistantships to new and continuing
students. Prospective students are encouraged to apply for financial aid at the same time
they apply for admission. The deadlines are the same for admission. For more
information, please see http://sirls.arizona.edu/program/admissions/financial

Online and Traditional Course Options:
Following successful completion of IRLS 504, students may select from online,
traditional, or blended options according to their needs and learning styles. Many
students complete their program of study virtually without ever returning to Tucson.
Students preferring more traditional learning opportunities may attend face-to-face
courses in Tucson and in Phoenix. To review sample semester course offerings, please
see http://sirls.arizona.edu/schedules

Tuition and Fees as of Spring Semester 2009:
For MA residents of Arizona, tuition and fees for one course is about $1550. For nine
credits, or three courses, it is about $4700. Three courses or nine credits is considered a
‘full load’ for a regular semester. For more information about tuition, please see
http://www.bursar.arizona.edu/students/fees/

Non-residents pay more than double the cost of residents for each course.
