Exception Admission Criteria

The University may admit up to 10% of new enrollees as exceptions to the Board of Trustees' minimum requirements. To be considered for an exception, a student should present evidence that their academic preparation was such that it might account for less than the minimal University and/or program requirements, and evidence of potential for academic success such as excellent letters of recommendation from trusted academicians, performance in graduate courses taken as a post-bachelor's student, professional experience in his/her discipline for a period of time, etc. Each request for a a 10% exception must include a statement describing the special circumstances of the applicant. It is the discretion of the program and college to accept exception application requests.
