The College examines each candidateís potential, taking
into consideration all academic work experience, level of responsibility, and
other factors that may have a bearing on the individualís potential for
success. Applicants are evaluated on the merits of their own application in
comparison with those of all other applicants for the quarter.
Applicants without proper documentation, i.e., official
transcripts, test scores, employment history, essays, etc., will not be
processed.
Students who are admitted but do not register in the quarter
for which they applied must reapply to the University and pay another
application fee if seeking admission to any future quarter. There is no
deferred admission. Reapplication to the CBE is not necessary if
readmission is sought within one academic year. Students who seek to
reactivate their CBE graduate program application file for admission
consideration must send a letter to the Associate Dean for Academic
Affairs and Resources, indicating the quarter for which they seek
admission. With the letter they must include information about any
activities they have undertaken since the first application. Note that,
unless granted a formal leave of absence, continuing graduate students who
fail to attend at least two quarters in a given calendar year lose their
continuing registration privileges and must compete for readmission with
all other applicants.
