Conditions for Provisional Admission
Those applicants who have at least a 3.0 undergraduate grade average and are
awaiting their scores on the Graduate Record Examination may enter into a
contract with the MPA program which states that they are provisionally accepted
for one semester while the portfolio is completed. Provisionally accepted students
may take one course. If the student’s completed application is subsequently
accepted after the GRE scores are known and course is successfully completed,
the course will count toward his or her degree requirements.
Admissions Appeal Procedure
Students who are not accepted for admission to the Master of Public
Administration program and who believe that there are extenuating
circumstances which affect their eligibility may request in writing
an appeal of the decision made by the MPA Admissions Committee.
This appeal is to be send to the Director of the MPA Program, who
will forward it to the Committee. The committee makes its
decision and conveys it in writing to the MPA Program Director,
who then contacts the applicant by letter to inform him or her of
the decision.
