School of Graduate Studies
Richmond, VA 23284-3051.
Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work
should be sent directly from the college or university registrar.
Types of admission
Students may be admitted to the program under one of the following
classifications:
a. Degree-seeking student. An applicant who
meets all requirements for admission to the program may be admitted
as a degree-seeking student.
b. Provisional student. An applicant who has
not fully met the requirements of the program but shows exceptional
promise may be admitted as a provisional admission student.
Applicants with outstanding potential but who lack courses or
training in specific areas deemed necessary for success in the
program may be required to complete specific coursework. Provisionally
accepted students must remove all conditions of the provisional
admission within one year of enrollment. Failure to meet these
conditions will result in the student being dismissed from the
program. No prerequisite courses taken as a provisional student
may be applied towards the graduate degree.
