You Should Know
Admission is provisional until all eligibility requirements and deadlines have been met, including enrollment and attendance in classes. If you do not enroll in classes and attend beyond the 20th day of instruction for the semester to which you were provisionally admitted, you will need to reapply for admission to the University in the next available semester. If your application for admission was denied or your offer of provisional admission has been withdrawn, see Admission and Deadline Appeals.
Enrollment Checklist
- Send us your final, official transcripts as soon as your courses end and your grades and degree are posted.

These are not required for admission but are conditions for enrolling in classes. Students not meeting the requirements may receive a registration hold that prevents enrollment in their second-semester classes. Learn more at Immunizations.
