Admissions

Admission to graduate studies is a process which is normally done only once, unless you are changing from non-degree to degree status, or are changing your major. UNISSIST offers a MA in Spanish. The Teaching Emphasis is not available through UNISSIST. Under number 10 in the application to Graduate Program check the box MA. Major: Spanish and Major Code: 78G.

Degree vs. non degree status: http://www.grad.uni.edu/admission/default.aspx
  
You need official transcript for admission (or once you are admitted to transfer credit)

Non degree applicants: An applicant must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. All students wishing to receive graduate credit must file an official transcript from each college or university from which they have received a degree, unless the degree was obtained from the University of Northern Iowa. Transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing institution to the UNI Office of the Registrar (University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa 50614-0006) in order to be considered official.

Degree status applicants: A student who expects to earn a graduate degree at this university must file an official transcript from the college or university granting the baccalaureate degree if other than the University of Northern Iowa. Only transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to the UNI Office of the Registrar (University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa 50614-0006) are considered official. Degree Status applicants who have attended other colleges or universities after earning the bachelor's degree must file an official transcript of each record.

Please note: 1) failure to submit (supply) all transcripts from all institutions where work has been done may result in denial of admission or dismissal from the university; and 2) transcripts sent by any other means than directly between registrar offices will not be accepted.

If you have done work at a foreign institution which appears on transcripts issued by a US institution, please do not list the foreign institution on the application for graduate admission or the UNI Registrar’s office will expect to receive official transcripts from the foreign institution. (That is usually a very difficult or impossible process which would considerably delay your admission.)
