New students desiring admittance into the non-degree General Studies programs must follow application procedures as outlined in the University catalog and will be assigned accordingly by the Enrollment Management Office.

1. Students must have earned a C.Q.P.A. of 2.00 or higher.
    
2. Students applying for degree candidacy, who have completed more than 30 credits will be considered only by special permission of the school dean.
