Application Procedures
The applicant is solely responsible for presenting full credentials
by the deadline date for the session of expected entrance; the School
of Graduate Studies will return all incomplete applications. The application
for admission to graduate study cannot be processed until
all credentials are on file. Three letters
of recommendation are also required.
Completed applications for admission and financial aid in the Fall
semester must be received by February 1; Spring semester by October
1; and the Summer Session by March 1.
Applications from seniors in their last semester of undergraduate study
will be evaluated on the basis of their course work through the first
semester of their senior year. The applicant's credentials must be completed
during the first month of the first semester of residence. Admission
may be canceled if the credentials remain incomplete or do not meet
the standards of the School of Graduate Studies or the degree program.
Incomplete applications will be returned to sender.
Students submitting falsified information when applying for admission
will be denied admission and those already admitted may have their admission
canceled; they will be removed from the School of Graduate Studies,
and may be subject to additional actions.
RETAINING ACADEMIC RECORDS
Admission credentials and the application data of applicants who do
not register in the semester for which they have been admitted, or those
for whose application for admission has been denied are retained for
only one year. All credentials, including academic records from other
institutions, become part of the official student record and cannot
be returned or duplicated for any purpose.
