If the student evaluation requires it, a preliminary program of a maximum of 15 semester hours credit as a student is planned for her. Her performance on this preliminary program then becomes the primary criterion for subsequent confirmation of admission as a degree candidate. To complete the admissions process, a student must attain at least a 2.0 average in the courses attempted at Meredith. When the preliminary program is satisfactorily completed, the student may complete the admissions process. Once the student is confirmed as a degree candidate, she is assigned an academic adviser in the department associated with her interest area.
Credits earned in the preliminary program are applicable to the degree requirements.
The exception to this policy is the student who was granted a leave of absence, who has complied with the terms of the leave and who re-enrolls within the allotted leave time. The student is responsible for having sent to the Office of Admissions an official transcript and a statement of honorable dismissal from each college or university attended since last enrolled at Meredith. Other credentials necessary to support an application for re-admission are obtained by the Office of Admissions and include recommendations from references listed on the application, as well as the student's previous academic and personal records at Meredith. If adequate health information is not on file at the College, the student accepted for re-admission will be required to submit the necessary medical records. If a student applying for re-admission was not eligible to return at the time she left Meredith, she should provide some evidence of current readiness to resume her academic program.
