STEPS FOR APPLYING
STEP 1: Attend an information session.

STEP 2: Complete the online LAUTR form, which can be found here. We encourage you to submit the form as soon as possible.

You cannot save the form, so we suggest you have the following information before you begin (i) educational background, including estimated GPA, (ii) professional background, (iii) CBEST and CSET scores (or registration for future dates); (iv) contact information for two references, and (v) responses to the following questions (200 word limit for each question):
-- Describe what you believe are the strengths and challenges of urban schools.
-- How do your values align with the mission and vision of LAUTR?
-- Why do you want to be a teacher in an urban school?
-- What other information would you like us to consider when reviewing your application?

If you have not yet taken the required exams, indicate your plans to do so in the future. After submitting the form, please email the resume you wish to be considered with your application to LosAngelesUTR@gmail.com.

Online LAUTR Form Due:
Due dates for the fifth cohort of LAUTR will be posted when available.

Selected candidates will be invited to an LAUTR Selection Day, held on a weekday at a high school campus in Los Angeles. More information will be provided to those candidates invited to attend.

Selection Day Dates:
TBA

STEP 3: Anytime after TBA, complete the online CSU application (www.csumentor.edu) and submit official transcripts for admission as a graduate student. If you are selected for LAUTR, we will transfer your admission to the appropriate quarter. If you have never been a CSU student, you will be assigned a campus identification number (CIN).

STEP 4: Submit an application and supporting documentation for the credentialing program to the Charter College of Education (CCOE) for the Summer 2013 quarter. The deadline is TBA, but we encourage you to submit it as soon as you have everything ready (except for test scores, which can be submitted as you receive them). See the CCOE checklist for a complete list of the documents required. Write your CIN number (which will be emailed to you after submitting your CSU application) on all documents.

Keep copies of everything you submit!
