Conditional Admission
An individual who does not meet regular admission requirements but who desires to pursue work leading to a master's degree at Judson University may be permitted to enroll conditionally in a limited number of graduate courses. Regular status may be gained after removal of deficiencies and/or completion of acceptable work at Judson University of not fewer than eight semester hours of graduate study.
Special Non-Degree Admission
An individual who does not plan to become a candidate for the Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership degree at Judson University, but who wishes to enroll in a graduate course may be granted special admission status by submitting all admission application materials and meeting the following requirements:

A student admitted by special admission is not expected to pursue a degree at the current time at Judson University.

Current requirements for regular admission will be applied to the request for change.
