Conditional Acceptance Policy
An applicant for a graduate program who does not meet undergraduate or graduate GPA standards for regular admission but has an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.40 (some programs require a minimum 2.70) may be considered for conditional admission when the department of application has agreed in advance to make this option available to prospective students. The conditional admission program is an arrangement that allows students to demonstrate the ability to perform successfully in a graduate degree program.
Conditional admission is available only in a limited number of fields by department agreements. Students admitted conditionally will be notified of the conditions, and will be given an opportunity to fulfill all conditions.
If conditions are not met, the student will receive a letter of dismissal from the Dean, School of Graduate Studies. A second attempt may be granted by the department and the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies in exceptional circumstances; however, no student will be granted more than two opportunities to fulfill any conditions.
