Programs may offer conditional acceptance to students who do not meet all of the specific criteria for admission but who show promise of success in graduate study. Applicants who lack sufficient foundation in the proposed area of study can be required to successfully complete designated courses before qualifying for unconditional admission. Other applicants can be required, on the recommendation of the program’s graduate advisor, to meet particular conditions. When recommending conditional admission, programs can also take into account other factors that provide evidence that the candidate would make an important contribution to the program or the University’s objectives and mission. Applicants accepted conditionally must work to have conditions removed within one semester. Conditions for acceptance as recommended by the graduate advisors are subject to final approval by the Dean of the Graduate School.
