The University reserves the right to review the case of any student who has been implicated in a criminal offense prior to admission to determine eligibility for admission and participation in extracurricular activities. At the time of application, students must disclose the final disposition of any past or pending judicial proceedings and submit any pertinent documentation.

Once the Graduate School has received your transcripts and test scores, your application will be referred to the graduate director of the program to which you are applying. The department will then review your application, make an admission decision, and notify our office. The Graduate School will send official admissions decisions through the applicant's application portal.
