When admitted as a degree student, the applicant
will be placed in one of the following categories:
Unconditional (Full) Admission:
This status will be granted to the applicant who satisfies all
the following conditions:
- Official transcripts of all college work have
been received by the Graduate School verifying a baccalaureate
degree from a regionally accredited college or university and
a cumulative grade point average between 2.50 and 4.0.
- Results of a satisfactorily completed entrance
exam specific to the discipline (i.e. GMAT, GRE or other admission
mechanism) have been submitted to the Graduate School (see Programs
& Degrees for details on departmental admission
requirements).
- All other departmental requirements for unconditional
admission to a degree program have been met. This might
include but is not limited to academic deficiencies, an interview,
area or subject tests, advanced tests, or grade point average.
Conditional Admission: This
status will be granted to an applicant who has submitted all necessary
materials but who does not meet all requirements for unconditional
admission. The conditions of admission will be specified
by the department and the Graduate School at the time of the admission
notification. Conditional admission will continue until
changed by the recommendation of the department and Graduate Dean.
Conditional admission is automatically changed to unconditional
admission upon approval of the Application for Candidacy for the
degree by the Graduate Dean. No formal letter is issued
to the student of the change from conditional to unconditional
status.
When an applicant is accepted conditionally or unconditionally,
an advisor will be assigned by the department. The advisor
will assist the student in attaining the student's graduate objectives.
For additional departmental admission requirements,
students should refer to the appropriate departmental listing
or consult with the department. See Programs
& Degrees.
