Changes to Memo 3 and Admissions Petitions

Please make sure to review the recent changes to Memo 3 just released by the Graduate School Academic Affairs and Planning unit on March 7. When reviewing applications, please note that a student may meet the 3.0 gpa requirement by either the last 60/90 credits OR the cumulative gpa.

Also, when submitting Admissions Petitions, please indicate which 2 of the items under Alternates to GPA Requirements you are considering OR which 2 items (in addition to evidence of professional success in a field relevant to the proposed area of study) you are considering for Alternates to an Earned Bachelor’s Degree. This will expedite GEMS’ review of the Petitions.
