Acceptance in a Graduate program
Individual Programs may establish requirements
more rigid than the minimal standards of the School of Graduate Studies, so a student meeting minimal School requirements may not be adequately
prepared to enter graduate study in a particular program.
All international students must present acceptable scores on the
Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination before they will be accepted
as graduate students. These examinations are offered several times a year
throughout the world.
Types
of Admission
Unconditional Admission ►
A applicants who meet all requirements
are normally granted unconditional
admission.
Probationary Admission ►
Applicants, who fail to meet all qualifications but are
judged by the departments concerned and by the Dean to show promise for
successful graduate work, may be considered for probationary admission.
Provisional Admission ►
Applicants who appear to be admissible but who are unable, for good reason,
to supply the required credentials prior to the stated deadline may request
provisional admission. In such cases, complete credentials must be received not
later than sixty days after the first day of classes (forty-five days in the
Summer term).
Graduate students, who apply for admission to the LSU School of
Medicine, or any other professional school, shall not be enrolled in the
professional school until they have completed the graduate degree toward
which they are working. |
