Graduate Standing (Classified)

A student wishing to be admitted to a program of study leading to an advanced degree must meet the criteria specified under General Admission Requirements and, in addition, must:

  1. Achieve a satisfactory score on the GRE General Test or GMAT as required.
  2. Have completed an undergraduate major appropriate to the field in which the student desires to earn an advanced degree.
  3. Satisfy the special departmental or college requirements as stated in Part Three of the Graduate Bulletin under “Courses and Curricula.
  4. Meet the professional, personal, and scholastic standards for graduate study established by the department and the Graduate Council. Students admitted with graduate standing (classified) are admitted to authorized advanced degree curricula and may enroll in 600-, 700-, and 900-numbered courses. Such admission does not imply that a student will be advanced to candidacy for an advanced degree.

Graduate Standing (Conditional Classified)

A student wishing to be admitted to a program of study leading to an advanced degree who meets the criteria specified under General Admission Requirements but who has deficiencies in the criteria for graduate standing (classified) may be granted conditional graduate standing (classified), if the deficiencies can be met by specific additional preparation, including qualifying examinations. Students who have not completed the GRE/GMAT requirement and/or the TOEFL/ IELTS requirement will not be eligible for conditional admission. Not more than 15 semester units may be assigned to satisfy undergraduate deficiencies in the major and normally all course conditions must be normally met within two semesters from the time of initial enrollment. Students admitted with conditional graduate standing (classified) are admitted to authorized advanced degree curricula and may enroll in 600- and 700-numbered courses. Once the conditions established by the department, school, or college have been met, the student should request that the program graduate adviser file a change of status form with the Division of Graduate Affairs.

Postbaccalaureate Standing (Conditional Classified, Credential, and Certificate)

A student wishing to be admitted to a program of study leading to a credential in professional education or a certificate program who meets the criteria specified under General Admission Requirements but who has deficiencies for unconditional classified admission to the department’s credential or certificate program may be granted conditional classified postbaccalaureate standing, if the deficiencies can be met by specific additional preparation, including qualifying examinations. No more than 18 semester units may be assigned to satisfy deficiencies in prerequisite education and subject matter competency coursework and all coursework must be met within one year (three academic terms: fall, spring, summer) from the time of initial enrollment unless written documentation of specific subject matter deficiency can be provided by the designated campus adviser. Once the conditions established by the department, school, or college have been met, the student should confirm that a change of status has been updated through the sponsoring departmental office for cross-campus records.
