Applications for graduate admission are reviewed by the respective department head and the Dean. Students are admitted to graduate study under one of the following statuses:
Regular Status
Admission to regular status requires both an undergraduate grade point average of 2.7 or higher (4.0=A) and fulfillment of entrance exam requirement.
Provisional Status
An applicant who does not meet all the criteria for regular admission status but who demonstrates potential for success in a graduate program may be admitted under provisional status. Appropriate graduate credit earned while in this status will apply toward fulfilling degree requirements. If the applicant satisfactorily completes the first 12 semester hours with at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and receives the recommendation of the department head, regular status will be granted; otherwise, the student will be dismissed.
Non-Degree Status
Individuals wishing to enroll without pursuing a degree and who qualify for admission under regular status should complete a non-degree application. Non-degree students are required to pay for all instruction and other services at the regular rate. The student may not become a degree candidate under this status. Credits earned may count toward a degree only after the student reapplies and is accepted for admission under regular status. The reapplication process must include all relevant transcripts and applicable exam scores.
In most cases, a maximum of six hours may be completed under non-degree status. Permission to take more than six hours is subject to approval by the respective department head and the Dean. Students enrolled in degree programs have priority over non-degree students in class registrations and on waitlists.
