M.S. in Computer Science Admissions Checklist

IMPORTANT!
Please send all requested items (other than the recommendation and transcripts) together at one time or in a series of immediately consecutive emails. Sending these items separately will delay the processing of your application. Do not submit any extraneous items that are not requested. Send the items to intadmis8@mum.edu only. Do not send the items (or duplicates of them) to other contacts you may have at the University. If it is not possible to scan some of the items, you may fax those documents to 641-470-1378. However, email is preferred.
On the top of EVERY PAGE you send us, you MUST put:
your Name as it appears on your application
your Student ID number
your Date of Birth
your E-mail Address as it appears on your application.
Please note:
You will receive confirmation from our office only AFTER we receive ALL the items requested (numbers 1 to 8 below.) Because of the large volume of applications we process, we are unable respond to requests to confirm the receipt of specific items.
Items needed to process your application:
1. Personal Information Form

Don't forget to include your name, ID number, birth date, and e-mail address on the top of each page. Email a Word (or other text) file of your resume along with items 3, 4, and 5 (and 6 if available) below to intadmis8@mum.edu
3. Scans of Official Transcripts and Diplomas
Send us scanned versions of transcripts (mark sheets) and diplomas (certificates of graduation or degree awards) from ALL colleges, universities, and accredited institutes that you have attended. Please include an English translation if they are not in English. Please also include a grading conversion table, if available. DO NOT include secondary school transcripts or diplomas. DO include all post-secondary school transcripts of any undergraduate and graduate studies. Your transcript must be accompanied by the Course Description Worksheet (point 4 below).
Transcripts (mark sheets) are documents issued by your university which list the name of every course you took and the grade/mark/score received for every semester you attended the university.
Diplomas (certificates of graduation or degree awards) are certificates issued upon graduation stating that you now have a bachelor's or master's degree.
Please scan your documents and create a jpg file for each of them. Email the files of all your post-secondary school transcripts, diplomas, (and translations, if necessary) along with the other items requested (items 2-6). Please use jpg format ONLY . Do NOT send .zip files.
On the top of EVERY PAGE you send us, you MUST put:
- your Name as is appears on your application
- your Student ID number
- your Date of Birth
- your E-mail Address as is appears on your application.
If it is not possible to scan some of the items and email jpg files, you may fax those documents to 641-470-1378.
Do NOT send any unrequested documents such as transcripts or diplomas from secondary or intermediate schools. Sending such documents will only slow the process of reviewing your application.
We require the originals of your transcripts, diplomas, passport, and any official translations when you register at the University.
If you do not include this information with your documents, your application may be delayed.
If you have sent us documents by email and we continue to ask for them, it means that we cannot open your attachments. In this case, please fax the documents to 641-470-1378.
4. Course Description Worksheet
This form must accompany your transcripts. If the form is not filled out accurately, it will delay the processing of your application.
Click HERE for a Microsoft Word version of the form. Please type in your answers directly on the form and email the form to us with your other documents.
Click HERE for a pdf file of the form. You will need to print out the form and enter the information with a pen. Please scan the completed worksheet and email a jpg file of it to us with your transcripts. You may fax it to us instead if you are also faxing your transcripts. Please fax to 641-470-1378.
Directions for completing the worksheet are given on the form. Note: You will need to look at your College University transcripts in order to fill out this worksheet.
5. Offical Transcripts Directly from your University
In addition to scanned transcripts (described above) which you will email to us, please request that each college or university you attended send us a sealed, official copy of your transcripts by postal mail or special courier such as DHL.
PLEASE NOTE that although we will begin to process your application using the scanned documents you submit, we are NOT able to send final acceptance and visa documents (form I-20) until we receive sealed transcripts directly from your college or university. Please do NOT send your personal copy of the transcripts by postal mail. Faxed transcripts will not be accepted.
Please have your college or university mail the transcripts to:
Compro Admissions, Transcripts ID# (Write in your COMPRO ID # here)
M.U.M.
1000 N 4th St
Fairfield, IA 52557, USA
You may want to request that your college or university send the transcripts by special courier if the two to three week delay caused by using regular postal airmail service will interfere with your ability to apply for a visa in time for the upcoming entry.
6. Standardized Test Scores and IT Certifications
Applicants from India are required to take the GRE exam and to submit their scores starting with the June 2008 entry. Applicants from other countries are not required to take GRE for admission to our program, but we strongly encourage them to take it. A high GRE score may decrease the amount you are expected to pay upon enrollment. Also, taking the GRE increases the likelihood of obtaining a student visa for our program.
To submit scores for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or any IT certifications in programming/oop from companies such as Sun, Cisco, or IBM, please email the scanned certificates to intadmis8@mum.edu (use jpg format ONLY. Do not send .zip files) along with the other items requested in points 2 - 6. If you cannot e-mail these documents, then fax a copy of the scores to 641-470-1378. Don't forget to include your name, ID number, birth date, and e-mail address.
7. Copy of Passport Photo and Identity Page
Please photocopy the page of your passport which contains your photograph and personal information. If you do not yet have a passport, you may send this photocopy after you receive one. In that case, please send the other documents listed in points 2-5 above as soon as you have collected them. E-mail a scanned version of the passport photo and identity page (use jpg format ONLY. Do not send .zip files) to intadmis8@mum.edu. If you cannot email it, then please fax this page to us at (641) 470-1378.
Please include your name, ID number, birth date, and e-mail address.
8. Recommendation
Please ask your supervisor (if you are currently employed), or a professor (if you are in college or have just completed college) to submit a recommendation for you. The recommendation must be submitted no more than 6 months prior to the date of your enrollment. It may be completed online at http://mum.edu/compro/adm_rec.html. A written recommendation is also acceptable, and may be faxed to 641-470-1378. We must receive at least one recommendation for you.
9. On-line Technical Test
Before you are given final acceptance to the program, you will need to take the online technical test. For this simple test you are required to write code in one of the following languages: Java, C++, C#, or C language. If you do not pass the test, you will need to study programming for some time and then take the test again before your application can proceed. See sample test. When you are ready to take the on-line technical test, please email your admissions representative (shown to the left of this page) for instructions and the URL.
10. $60 I-20 Shipping Fee
There is a $60 non-refundable fee that the Compro Admissions Office must receive before your final acceptance package can be sent to you. NOTE: We will continue to process your application without the fee. You may send the other requested items on this checklist and wait to send the fee after you receive final acceptance.
The fee may be paid by the following methods:
- Credit Card (Visa or MasterCard only). You may fax the information (card number, expiration date, and name on the card) to 641-470-1378. You may also call us with your credit card number at 641-472-1153. If you prefer, you may pay online:
