Graduate Provisional Student with Prerequisite Course Requirements 

Graduate students admitted provisionally due to low undergraduate GPA AND prerequisite coursework must meet satisfactory academic progress requirements as well as prerequisite requirements. Essentially you will need to meet 2 benchmarks to be fully admitted.

1)            Undergraduate Prerequisite Course Requirement - Undergraduate prerequisite courses need to be completed within 1 year from the date of enrollment, earning a 3.00 GPA upon completion of all prerequisite classes.

2)            Provisionally Admitted Graduate Student Requirement - once the prerequisite courses are completed students must begin graduate coursework in the next available term and are required to meet provisional requirements in two consecutive trimesters.  They will be required to: 

  • Complete six (6) credits in their first two trimesters
  • Earn and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher at the end of the second trimester
  • Earn a cumulative course completion rate of 66.66% or higher at the end of the second trimester 


Students who are administratively withdrawn for not meeting prerequisite or provisional requirements may re-apply after a period of 30 days following their withdrawal date.
