Admission

Admission decisions are made by the faculty committee or graduate coordinator of the respective graduate program. Denial of admission is not subject to appeal. Applicants denied admission to a program are not permitted to enroll in courses in that graduate program, though they may apply for either non-degree enrollment or admission to another program.

If an applicant is offered graduate admission, the college reserves the right to withdraw that offer of admission if:

During his or her academic studies, the admitted applicant has a significant drop in academic performance or fails to graduate with a degree prior to the first day of classes for the term admitted.
There has been a misrepresentation in the application process.
Prior to the first day of classes for the term admitted, the school learns that the admitted applicant has engaged in behavior that indicates a serious lack of judgment or integrity, irrespective of the outcome of any disciplinary process related to such behavior.
Students admitted to an accelerated master's program do not maintain satisfactory progress in his or her undergraduate program, do not receive a minimum grade of 3.00 in the graduate classes taken as an undergraduate, or otherwise does not meet the conditions specified on the application and admission letter.

The university further reserves the right to require the applicant to provide additional information (and/or authorization for the release of information) about any such matter.

Readmission

Graduate students who have been terminated or have resigned from a program in the College of Engineering and Computing and want to reapply to the same program must wait five (5) semesters (Fall/Spring) before submitting a new application for admission. A full application for admission as well as all application materials required of that program must be submitted (or resubmitted). GRE scores, if required, cannot be older than five years. Previous admission to a program does not guarantee readmission to the same program. The circumstances of the prior termination or resignation will be a factor in the decision-making process. Subject to the policy on Transfer Credit.

NOTE: per AP.6.6.3. If readmitted to the same graduate program after termination, dismissal, or resignation, any unsatisfactory grades (C or F) accumulated within six years prior to readmission count toward reaching the termination threshold. Academic termination information can be found in AP.6.6.2.
