How do I apply and what is the application process?

Please refer to the following application and admissions timeline for the 2013-14 residency year:

• Complete and submit the online application and request that the supplementary documents be sent to the Denver Teacher Residency office by the application deadline. All application materials must be received by the application deadline in order to be considered.
  • The final application deadline is Friday, February 15, 2013. There are a limited number of resident openings. These openings are filled by candidates who completed their application by the priority deadline first; if there are openings remaining, we will screen candidates who complete their application by the final deadline.
• Once you create an account, you can access your application at any time. The online application is the only type of application accepted.
• Select applicants will be invited to participate in a demonstration day, which includes additional screening activities, including an interview and teaching demonstration.
• Following demonstration day, selected candidates will be asked to submit a University of Denver application.
