It is highly recommended that you review all policies pages so you are familiar with all policies that may impact you.

Conditional Admit

If you were accepted to a graduate or licensure only program with a conditional admittance it is your responsibility to honor these conditions and meet them in a timely manner which will be defined during your initial advising meeting with the program coordinator. Failure to meet these requirements may result in termination from the program.

Once your condition has been met, it is your responsibility to notify the graduate school so your full admission can be processed.

Time limits on graduate courses

All courses put forward for graduation must be no older than 6 years, at the point of graduation, including transferred credits.

1. Review the current course description for the class(es) in question.
2. Document how you have stayed up to date on the content of the course(es) in question since you originally completed the course. This may include:
  1. Relevant professional experiences
  2. Attending professional development
  3. Completing other, related courses
  4. Reading professional publications on the topic
  5. Participating in conferences or other professional activities
3. Share this documentation with your program coordinator/advisor and get a letter of support from them.
