If Regular Graduate Status is not recommended, a final evaluation of the student's progress will be conducted following the student's second semester in residence in International Special Status. Students admitted to Regular Graduate Status can receive graduate credit only for the graduate eligible units taken during the one semester immediately preceding the award of Regular Graduate Status. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate the request to change to Regular Graduate Status. Forms are available in the Graduate Degree Certification Office, Administration Building, 316. A minimum, composite score of 550 is required by the Graduate College.
Some departments require a higher score.
