Admission Requirements & Procedures for Matriculating Students

Applicants to a doctoral degree, master’s degree, certificate, or certification program are classified as matriculating students once they meet all admission criteria for the specific program and are accepted into the program.

Applicants must provide an official transcript showing receipt of a baccalaureate degree (or equivalent international degree) from an accredited college or university to document eligibility for graduate study.

Students should refer to the specific program of interest for requirements and procedures. Until all requirements for a program are met, the application will be considered incomplete, unless granted conditional admission.

A student who receives an offer of admission must acknowledge acceptance by submitting a $250 nonrefundable deposit. The deposit priority deadline is August 1 for the fall semester and January 1 for the spring semester. Payment of the deposit will begin the enrollment procedures.

Upon receipt of the registration instructional materials, students must make an appointment to meet with their academic advisor(s) or attend an admissions registration event before they can register online.

Student Immunization & Document Requirements

All students are required to complete a Student Health Form and provide documentation of immunizations before attending class and/or moving into residence halls. For current immunization requirements and recommendations, consult the Health Services webpage. Click here to complete your health forms via the student health portal. Failure to comply will result in a hold on your account and inability to register for future classes.
