Provisional Admissions

Applicants may be admitted provisionally. Provisional admission means an applicant has not met the criteria to be fully admitted, although the applicant has been deemed to have the potential to meet the conditions in one semester and become fully admitted.

At the time of the offer to be provisionally admitted, the conditions for full admission will be clearly indicated. All provisionally admitted students will be placed on provisional status.

Provisional status students are not eligible for federal financial aid while enrolled in courses as a provisional student.

Provisional status students will have one semester to complete all the conditions. If all the conditions are met, the student will be fully admitted.

Provisional status students who do not meet the conditions by the end of their first semester will be dismissed from the program.

Any student dismissed from the program, including provisional status students, may re-apply for admission during the next application period. Applicants should take note of the admission requirements of any other application period because they are subject to change.
