All admissions to the Graduate College require the possession
of a Baccalaureate degree or equivalent from an accredited
college or university. In the succeeding paragraphs, all references
to grade point averages are calculated on a 4.0 scale. References
to credit hours are to semester credit hours.
Admissions of all foreign nationals from non-English speaking
countries require demonstration of proficiency in English.
Minimum evidence of proficiency is a score of 233 (or 575
on the old scoring system) on the TOEFL exam. For international
students who do not speak English as their native tongue,
a telephone or in-person interview with at least two faculty
members will be required.
ADMISSION IN FULL STANDING
Any student having a "B" average or better (3.0
grade point average or better average in at least 12 hours
of graduate work) may be admitted as a student in full standing
provided he/she is accepted by the Department of Educational
Psychology. If the last 60 hours cannot be identified from
the applicant's transcript, the entire transcript will be
evaluated for admission.
CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Any student having a grade point average of 2.75 or better
over the last 60 hours of undergraduate work may be conditionally
admitted to the Graduate College provided he/she is accepted
for conditional admission by the Department of Educational
Psychology.
ADMISSION IN UNCLASSIFIED STATUS
A student in unclassified status is not a candidate for a
degree. If the student is later accepted for a degree program,
courses taken while in unclassified status may be used to
fulfill graduate degree requirements only if accepted by the
program. All graduate courses taken by a student while unclassified
will be used in calculating the grade point average for purposes
of satisfying degree or retention requirements.
Any student having a 3.0 average or better over the last
60 hours of undergraduate work, or a 3.0 average over 12 hours
of graduate work from an accredited institution, may be admitted
to the Graduate College in unclassified status. Those with
a grade point average of 2.8 but less than 3.0 over the last
60 hours of undergraduate work may be conditionally admitted
to the Graduate College in unclassified status.
ADMISSION IN SPECIAL STUDENT STATUS
A student failing to meet the above requirements may be admitted
to the University in Special Student status. Special students
are not considered to be in the Graduate College, and their
course work cannot be transferred to a graduate degree program.
Should a special student later apply (or re-apply) for admission
to the Graduate College, his or her record of performance
as a special student will supplement other application materials
that are considered for determining admissibility.
