Policy: The University Deans are responsible for working with the Provost to determine appropriate admissions requirements for their programs. The Enrollment Office assists interested applicants with gathering their admissions documents and submitting their application for review. The Registrar's Office reviews all submitted applications, verifying that the applicant meets the admissions requirements for the program for which they are applying. The Registrar's Office may also consult the Deans and/or Provost in situations were admissions documents need more consideration. Acceptance letters are issued by the Registrar's Office. Applications that are missing information or that are not eligible for their requested program are returned to the Enrollment Advisor for correction and resubmission as appropriate.
The admissions process examines both the academic and personal qualifications of all applicants. The University aims to ensure that students accepted into its programs have the ability to benefit from and contribute to the integrated educational experience at the University. Admissions decisions are also based on the congruence of the applicant's educational interests with the philosophy and purpose of the program to which they are applying. The University values a diverse academic community and is committed by purpose and obligation by law to serve all people on an equal and nondiscriminatory basis. Admissions' decisions are made independent of need for financial aid.
In addition to the University application and admission requirements, many degree and certificate programs have additional specific requirements described in the Admissions Requirements sections of the academic catalog. Failure to follow the required procedures, provide all requested documentation, or declare all prior enrollments in post-secondary institutions may result in a delay in the application process, denial of admission, or dismissal from the University. The University reserves the right to verify the authenticity of any document through contact with the issuing source and/or request for further documentation.
