Graduate Admissions

Welcome to Graduate Admissions.  The Graduate School offers various opportunities for graduate admissions.  Each program/area of study may require additional documents or have different admission deadlines.  Below are the types of admission and links to program specific information.  Please contact one of the Graduate Services Coordinators for assistance.

You may check your application status online once you have received your ID and PIN number from the Graduate School.

Master's & Specialist degree programs offer full, conditional and provisional admission.  Full admission is offered for all doctoral programs.  Educator certification, graduate certificates, and nondegree offer provisional admission and nondegree admission. International Students (F1 or J1 visa holders) are eligible for full and conditional admissions only.

Full Admission Status

Full admission is available to applicants seeking a degree program with a complete admission application packet and who meet all Graduate School and Departmental Requirements.

Conditional Admission Status

Conditional admission is available to applicants with a complete admission application packet and do not qualify for full admission.  After completing 12 graduate hours, a conditional student must have a minimum overall graduate grade point average of 3.00.  Failure to achieve the minimum 3.0 GPA after completing 12 graduate hours will result in suspension of the student from further graduate study in any degree program for 3 years.

Provisional Admission Status

Provisional admission is offered to students to enroll for one semester (initial semester of enrollment in the Graduate School) with any of the following deficiencies:

• An official bachelor's transcript from a regionally accredited institution is not on file
• An official GRE or GMAT score is not on file
• One of more departmental requirements are incomplete

Students admitted provisionally must be sure their missing documents are received by the Office of Graduate Studies and all requirements are complete before the end of the first semester of enrollment.  Completion of the application packet and all requirements on time is the student's responsibility.  Students whose files are not complete during the semester of provisional enrollment will not be permitted to reenroll or early register until the necessary documentation is received and approved.  International Students (F1 or J1 visa holders) are eligible for full and conditional admissions only.

Nondegree Complete Status

Nondegree complete status is offered to students who have submitted all admission documents and met all admission requirements for a graduate certificate, educator certification, and personal, professional and career development.

Note:

• Doctoral programs accept full admission only.
