Acceptance Status
Formal Acceptance:
Granted to degree-seeking students when the student has met all admission requirements and has filed a plan of study with the Office of Graduate and Continuing Education. A letter of formal acceptance will be issued to the student.
Provisional Acceptance:
Granted to degree-seeking students whose undergraduate academic records do not meet the minimum admission requirements, but who show promise of development or potential for graduate study. The status of provisionally accepted students is subject to review after completion of six to nine credit hours of graduate work. The courses included in these credits will be specified by the individual graduate program. These students must be granted formal acceptance to the graduate program before being eligible to progress in the program. Provisional acceptance may also be granted to a degree-seeking student who has not yet met all additional requirements for the program to which he/she has applied for admission.
