REGULAR ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Admission is limited to holders of a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution. It is expected that admission will be granted only to students showing high promise of success in graduate study.

The candidate's performance on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and the candidate's undergraduate work will be used to determine admission status. The formula used to determine regular admission is:

GMAT score (Minimum of 450) + (200 x the undergraduate GPA) >= 1000; or

GMAT score (Minimum of 450) + (200 x the upper division GPA)> = 1050

The completed application, including all supporting papers, must be received by the Graduate Admissions Office no later than three weeks prior to the beginning of the semester in which the applicant anticipates beginning graduate study. Applicants may enter any semester. Admission is granted after meeting the admission standards.

PROVISIONAL ADMISSION EXIT REQUIREMENTS

Provisional admission requirements will be 50 points below the formula for regular admission with a minimum GMAT score of 400. To exit provisional status students must have no grade below a "B" in the first 9 to 12 hours of courses in provisional status (or a combination of conditional and provisional status).

CONDITIONAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Applicants who apply too late for full consideration for admission and/or have not submitted all required documents for evaluation may be assigned conditional admission status. While in this status a student may register for one semester only, by completing a Georgia College & State University Conditional Registration Agreement for Graduate Students. This form requires the signatures of both the student and the graduate coordinator. Students may take ONLY 5000-level courses while in conditional status. Any student who registers under this agreement must be admitted to either regular or provisional status by the end of the first semester of enrollment to continue taking courses in the degree program.

Students may take no more than 12 hours of coursework in conditional and provisional status combined.
