Types of Admission University of Maine Types of Admission Regular Admission Tentative Admission Provisional Admission Conditional Admission Non-Degree Admission Transient Admission Readmission to the Graduate School Regular admission is granted to students whose academic records and supporting documents indicate they are qualified to undertake graduate study in their chosen fields.
Tentative admission is granted to a student admitted during the final year of undergraduate work.
Admission on this basis is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of the undergraduate program and submission of a complete, final transcript showing receipt of the degree. Provisional admission is granted to a student who does not have all the prerequisites for admission to graduate study in the academic field. Prerequisite and elective courses must be made a part of the student's program of study. Conditional admission may be granted to a student whose academic record may not meet all established academic requirements but suggests promise for success in graduate study. Conditional admission is equivalent in every way to regular admission with the single exception that students may not receive graduate assistantships or fellowships.
