International students may begin in fall and spring semesters only. The tests are scheduled by the staff in the Learning and Advising Center a few days before classes begin. If students miss the scheduled testing session, it is their responsibility to report to the Learning and Advising Center for testing before registering for classes. If students need extensive English preparation, it is University policy to have students complete an intensive English program elsewhere before enrolling in graduate courses. Any fees associated with these courses are the responsibility of the student.
Full acceptance is granted only when the student's file is complete.
The standardized test requirement is waived for those applicants who have completed a prior master's degree or are C.P.A.s. Probationary students will be monitored closely by the program director during their first five courses. Failure to maintain a 3.0 or better GPA is cause for dismissal. After the completion of five courses, with a cumulative GPA of at least a 3.0, the probationary status may be removed at the discretion of the program director. The University reserves the right to grant conditional acceptance to students who are missing some of their application materials, but who otherwise meet admissions criteria.
