Conditional admission is intended for those students whose undergraduate record does not reflect their current capacity to successfully complete graduate work. In those circumstances, and upon the recommendation of the graduate program coordinator or admissions committee, conditional admission status may be granted. It should be noted that some academic units may require a higher GPA or other admission requirements. Conditional admission has a maximum time limit of one academic year, and students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 while enrolled. A final admission decision shall be reserved by the academic unit until an applicant’s performance has been evaluated after one academic year of enrollment. For conditional admission status, an applicant must, as a minimum:
- Hold a baccalaureate degree granted by a regionally accredited institution (for international students, a degree granted by a recognized institution).
- Have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.3 in all undergraduate coursework; or have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 in the last 60 credit hours of undergraduate coursework; or have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in the applicant’s major field of study.
- Submit programmatically acceptable scores in the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or, where applicable, other appropriate standardized measures if requested.
- Satisfy and/or meet any and all additional admission requirements of the program where admission is being sought.
