Provisional Admission A student whose application is incomplete, because not all of the required supporting materials have been received, may register as a provisional student for one semester only. If admitted to the Graduate School, the credits taken can be counted toward a degree. However, the degree-seeking applicant who enrolls as a provisional student accepts the risk that admission may ultimately be denied if the supporting documents are not received before the next semester or if the applicant's record is deemed unsatisfactory. Students admitted on a provisional basis are not eligible for financial aid, student housing, student health insurance coverage or certain other student services. Fellowships Graduate School Fellowships are available to a limited number of outstanding Ph.D. students.
Stipends are awarded for the academic year and tuition is waived for recipients.
Selection is based upon academic achievement and departmental recommendation. There are no application forms for fellowships. A student seeking nomination for a fellowship appointment should contact the Graduate Program Director of the student's major department. Fellowships are awarded on an annual basis and are dependent upon continued academic progress. Research assistantships are also available to the fulltime Ph.D. student for work on funded research projects.
