Status of Admitted Students

Full Admission

Students who meet all admission criteria without qualification are granted full admission status. 

Admitted with Two-Course Review Status

Students who do not meet admission criteria, but who show potential for successful graduate work, may be admitted with two-course review status based on the recommendation of the faculty of the particular program to which they are applying.

A student admitted with two-course review status must maintain a GPA of 3.0 in either the first two graded courses (generally, a minimum of five semester hours combined). These courses may not be extension courses, workshops, transfer credits, independent studies or internships/practicum, except when taken by veterans receiving benefits. If the student has a minimum 3.0 GPA at the end of the review period, he or she will gain good academic standing. If the student’s GPA falls below 3.0 at the end of the review period, he or she will be dropped from the graduate school.

Specific graduate programs may have additional admission requirements. See programs for details.
