Admission Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Michigan-Flint offers several admission pathways to support students with diverse academic backgrounds and circumstances. This page outlines the different types of graduate admission, including deferral options, admission with outstanding requirements, probationary admission, and readmission. Understanding these categories can help you navigate your next steps and ensure you remain on track toward your degree. Please review each section carefully and contact the Office of Graduate Programs with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-3fb549c89580e33927e632b5b75b9a23\"><strong>What&#8217;s On This Page<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#deferring\">Deferring Admission<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Outstanding\">Admission with Outstanding Requirement(s)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Probationary\">Probationary Admission<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Implications\">Implications of Outstanding Requirements and\/or Probationary Admission<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Readmission\">Readmission<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-secondary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-secondary-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9ed9e5502ca91903c90bb397fa974ee4\" id=\"deferring\">Deferring Admission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br><\/strong>Once admitted to a graduate program, you may have the option to defer admission if you are unable to attend the semester in which you were initially admitted. If this option is available (please contact your program), you may defer your admission for up to one calendar year.&nbsp; Please contact the Office of Graduate Programs to defer admission.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e5a2deb4409e26753a1ec347e9e99001\" id=\"Outstanding\">Admission with Outstanding Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some applicants may be admitted who still need to provide additional documentation. This may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Submission of a final or official transcript&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of completed baccalaureate degree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of completed prerequisite course(s) with required grades&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy of a required license or certificate&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other instances as identified by the department and Office of Graduate Programs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If the outstanding document is not submitted prior to the start of the semester in which you are admitted, financial aid disbursement may be delayed.<\/strong> Otherwise, note that submitting official documents for verification is a requirement for continued enrollment. Applicants who simply need to submit official documents for verification will receive a registration hold after their first semester to ensure all required documents are submitted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicant must submit appropriate documentation to the Office of Graduate Programs. The Director of Graduate Admissions will review the documentation and make a determination on updating the applicant to standard admission. If approved, the student\u2019s record will be updated to reflect their new admission status in the effective term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cb79d2a670cfd4fe2b6fcc7506b65338\" id=\"Probationary\">Probationary Admission <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(Not available for students requiring an F1 Visa)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants who do not meet a program\u2019s stated minimum GPA may be given probationary admission upon recommendation of the program director. If a student also has outstanding requirements (such as those listed above under \u201cAdmission with Outstanding Requirements\u201d) in addition to falling below the minimum GPA or test score, the student is given probationary admission (but the letter also lists the outstanding requirements). When a student is given probationary admission <strong>without<\/strong> outstanding requirements, the student does not need to submit any additional documentation. The Director of Graduate Admissions will review the student\u2019s transcript after the first 12 hours of coursework and make a determination whether or not to give the applicant standard admission. (The student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 to be given standard admission.) The student will be notified via their campus email of the decision. The student\u2019s record will be updated to reflect their new admission status in the effective term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a student is given probationary admission <strong>with<\/strong> outstanding requirements, the Director of Graduate Admissions will review the required documentation and the student\u2019s transcript after the first 12 hours of coursework and make a determination on whether or not to give the applicant standard admission.
