Admission Statuses Explained

PENDING:  Student meets the cumulative and pre-business core GPA requirements at the time application is submitted, and is currently enrolled in remaining pre-business core courses.

  • Students will be able to register for minor-eligible 300+ level business courses for SPRING.
  • If a student with a PENDING initial status is later found to be not eligible for admission to Shidler after semester grades are posted (e.g., no longer meets GPA requirements, minimum grades, etc.), student will be removed from any registered 300+ level business courses and will not be allowed to re-register for advanced business courses.

UNABLE TO BE OFFERED ADMISSION:  Student cannot meet the cumulative and/or pre-business-minor core GPA, and/or has not completed or enrolled in remaining pre-business-minor courses.

INITIALLY UNABLE TO BE OFFERED ADMISSION: Student does not meet the cumulative and/or pre-business-minor core GPA at time of application, but could potentially meet requirements by end of the FALL semester.

  • The student will not be able to register for minor-eligible 300+ level business courses at the start of registration in NOVEMBER.
  • However, if after semester grades are evaluated, the student has met all requirements, they could still receive an updated admissions letter and clearance to register for SPRING 300+-level minor courses, at that time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Applicants must fulfill all admission requirements prior to being admitted to the Business MINOR Program.
