• Understanding Your Admissions Status:

1. Conditional Acceptance: Students who have not submitted all required documentation will be admitted as conditional status. Failure to provide documentation by the end of the first semester, will prevent a student from future registration and official transcript release. Required admissions documents can be viewed by logging back into your admissions application portal. 
   
   
   
2. Unconditional Acceptance:  Students who have submitted all required documentation may be admitted as unconditional status.
