Reactivation of Deferred Applications Applicants are notified when action on an application has been deferred pending completion of courses that are prerequisite to graduate study in a chosen field. The applicant is responsible for furnishing official transcripts confirming that the prerequisite courses have been satisfactorily completed. An admission decision cannot be made until these grades are received. Records Maintenance and Disposal All admission documents, including academic records sent from other institutions, become part of the official university file and can neither be returned nor duplicated for any purpose. A student should maintain copies of official credentials for other personal use.
Permission is obtained from the department.
Change in Field of Graduate Study Admission for graduate study is admission to a specific department. Therefore, a student is not free to change graduate programs at will. A student who wishes to change from one field of study to another must submit a new application and fee for admission. Previous acceptance into one graduate program does not guarantee acceptance into another. Graduate Study during Summer Term Applicants wishing to begin graduate work in summer must complete a standard application for graduate admission and be formally admitted before registering for summer.
