Admission to the Graduate School

The University considers all applications without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age or religion. The University reserves the right to withhold the admission of an applicant who fails to meet any of the requirements for admission. In addition, it reserves the right to restrict enrollments when necessary because of budgetary or other constraints. Meeting the minimum admissions requirements does not guarantee admission to a graduate program. Applications for admission should be submitted and completed as early as possible and no later than any published deadlines. In some programs, the vacancies will be filled several weeks prior to those deadlines.

In most programs applicants for admission are reviewed as soon as the required credentials are received. All relevant factors are considered, with major emphasis being placed on the academic history of the applicant. The intent of the University is to offer admission to those applicants whose credentials indicate a strong likelihood for success in their selected curricula.

Evidence of good physical and mental health is required prior to registration. A medical report form is sent to successful applicants along with the notice of admission. State law requires all students entering a college in the State of North Carolina to meet immunization requirements described elsewhere in this Catalog. A family physician or the Health Department must verify that the student has had necessary immunizations.
