What does it mean to be admitted to the Graduate School under regular student status? ANSWER: Students meeting the minimum admission requirements are admitted with regular status to the masters degree program. The Admissions Committee may, on rare occasion, consider an admission status which deviates from this policy if circumstances warrant. Factors which enter into such decisions include the institution where the student studied, the specific courses taken and grades earned, work experience in industry or government, and recommendations from professors and/or work supervisors.
