Possible Departmental Action

Each applicant's documents are carefully reviewed by the appropriate department. Admission decisions are made within the guidelines of the graduate admissions policy based upon the applicant's qualifications and potential for success in a graduate program. Departments may take any of the actions listed below. Admissions decisions are valid only for the academic year for which the applicant has applied and only if the applicant enrolls in courses during that academic year.

1. Grant admission to students who satisfy all requirements.
2. Grant admission to students who demonstrate academic and professional promise. These students must meet the stipulations required by the department, including prerequisites. Students who do not meet these stipulations may be withdrawn from the University.
3. Hold the application pending specified additional requirements.
4. Deny admission because documents appear to indicate applicant would be unsuccessful in this graduate program.
