Admissions Process
To apply for Relay’s teacher programs, prospective students may start an application via a unique application link obtained after submitting an interest form, being sent to Relay via a partner school or district, or directly via the Relay.edu website. Once applicants complete an initial application and submit all institutional and program-specific admissions requirements, their application will be reviewed for admission resulting in an admission decision. Students must secure a program-aligned instructional role that must be verified through the School Authorization and Instructional Role Confirmation Form prior to enrolling in coursework each fall. Applicants may connect with the Prospective Student Advising team via email at [email protected] for more details and support.

Relay Library
Relay primarily employs an electronic and digital approach to providing library and information resources to students and faculty. The majority of Relay Library materials are available in an online or electronic format, accessible through the library catalog. These resources include electronic books (e-books), videos, curriculum resources, and subscriptions to prominent education journals offered through database providers such as EBSCO, ProQuest, JSTOR, and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). Relay provides these content subscriptions for use by current Relay students, faculty, and staff. Username and password information is to be kept confidential, and material-access privileges may not be shared. Relay Library also participates in a national interlibrary loan service that allows students and faculty to request articles not owned by Relay Library from other institutions.
Relay Library maintains a core collection of books, periodicals, and other print resources at its central office in New York City for use in coursework and research. These materials are listed on the Relay online library catalog so that students and faculty may locate and browse physical materials held in the library.
For guidance using these materials, and for other library questions, students should reference their EDU-500 course in Canvas. Students may also email [email protected] with feedback or questions.
