Provisional Admission

Students who have completed all requirements for admission but do not meet minimum standards for regular admission, may be placed in the provisional admission classification by the graduate coordinator in the student’s degree program. Students may take no more than 12 semester hours of coursework in conditional and provisional status combined. The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences and the J. Whitney Bunting College of Business and Technology do not allow provisional admission.

To exit provisional admission and to be classified as a regular student, all admission criteria as described in the provisional admission exit requirements section of each program must be satisfied and approved by the degree program coordinator. Students are usually reviewed for a change in classification after successfully completing 9 to 12 hours of coursework.
