Conditional/Provisional Admission

Conditional Admission

A person with an earned bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university may be admitted conditionally for graduate studies with a 2.3 overall grade point average in all undergraduate course work attempted or a 2.75 in the last 60 semester hours attempted based on a 4.0 scale. The individual who is given conditional admission must maintain a 3.0 grade point average in the first twelve hours of graduate course work attempted to continue in graduate studies.

Provisional Admission

An NSU senior who is enrolled in sufficient work to complete requirements for the bachelor’s degree but who is not enrolled for a normal study load may be admitted on a provisional basis for graduate studies.

Students must be admitted to the Graduate College before they may enroll in graduate courses. The student may enroll in courses for graduate credit, provided the total enrollment does not exceed 16 hours in a semester or nine hours in a summer term and provided the student meets regular admission requirements.

Enrollment in graduate courses must be processed during regular enrollment in the Graduate College Office. Graduate credit will not be applicable to a graduate degree for such students unless bachelor’s degree requirements are satisfied at the end of the semester of concurrent enrollment.
