To be admitted, students must meet the requirements of both the Graduate College and SIRLS. In addition, they must submit separate applications to the Graduate College and to SIRLS.

Provisional Admission

Students who do not meet the stated requirements of the Graduate School and SIRLS will be considered as candidates for provisional admission.
