Temporary admission will be granted to students who are admissible to the University but lack all official documentation for conditional or unconditional admission. This status is granted for only one semester. Students admitted on a temporary basis are limited to nine hours at the graduate level, or thirteen hours at the undergraduate level.

Conditional admission is granted to students that do not meet unconditional admission.

Graduate students. Conditionally admitted graduate students are limited to a total of nine attempted credit hours and must meet a 3.0 grade point average at the end of the nine credit hours attempted. Failure to meet the 3.0 grade point average at the end of the nine hours will result in being dropped from program.

Unconditional admission is granted to students that have met all University admission requirements.

Graduate students. Students must hold a baccalaureate degree with a minimum overall undergraduate grade point average of 2.5 (4.0 scale) or a 3.0 grade point average on the last 30 semester hours.
