Gather your papers

Applying will be easier and faster if you gather these required documents beforehand:

• Transcripts of all previous college or university education. Upload unofficial transcripts in your online application. If you are accepted, you will be asked to provide official transcripts.
• Résumé or CV.
• Personal essay that outlines your professional plans and career objectives; explains how educational, work, or other experiences led you to pursue a graduate certificate in health informatics; and includes specific issues and challenges in health care that are of strong personal interest to you.
• Two references. In the online application, you will need to supply names and contact details of two professional colleagues who can attest to your intellectual, experiential and interpersonal abilities. The Graduate School will contact your references with instructions regarding the letters.
