Types of Acceptance

The Graduate Studies Office will inform applicants in writing of the decision.
Provisional Admission
University Deans or designee may accept students who have not met all admission criteria
on a provisional basis. Full Admission may be granted pending satisfactory completion
of admission requirements outlined in the provisional acceptance.
Non-Degree Graduate Certificates or Non-Matriculating Students
Graduate Certificates may be taken as independent programs of study or as part of
a graduate degree program. These programs are designed for professionals to update
their skills and knowledge in specific areas. Students seeking to take graduate courses
as a non-matriculating student are subject to the application requirements for non-degree
applicants. Applicants for the Graduate
Certificate are required to:
- Hold a Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution (generally with a grade point average of at least 2.80 on a 4.00 scale)
- Complete an application form
- Submit a résumé
- Submit official transcripts from degree granting institutions.
- Future acceptance into a degree program requires the full admission process.
Admission as a non-matriculating student enables registration in applicable coursework for which the student has the appropriate prerequisites established. Students must be matriculated in a degree program in order to be eligible for financial aid or the awarding of a degree.
