The Goldman Center serves students across Tulane programs. The application process for graduate and professional programs are the same process: complete an online application, submit sufficient supporting documentation aligned with our documentation guidelines, and self-schedule your Access Interview to explore what supports are indicated in removing an identified access barrier.
However, due to considerations around specific barriers in graduate programs, graduate students are ineligible for Desk Review. A standard Access Interview should be scheduled.
In certain graduate programs, considerations fundamental alteration explorations must also include a technical standards review. A technical standard refers to all nonacademic criteria that are essential to participation in the program in question.
Additional support for graduate students is also detailed through Student Resources & Support Services.
