General Requirements
The following are university-wide general requirements for certificate and credential programs. Please ensure you are prepared to complete and provide supporting documentation for the items below.
Academic Factors
Provide transcripts that verify:
-
You have earned a Bachelor鈥檚 degree and any other qualifying degrees (as needed) from a regionally accredited university (some programs may consider approved nationally accredited universities).
For programs requiring a Master鈥檚 degree or higher, applicants must submit official transcripts.
- You possess a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale unless otherwise stated in the program requirements. The university requires that applicants meet their individual program鈥檚 stated GPA minimum requirement for admission. If your undergraduate or applicable graduate GPA is below the stated requirement, you must submit a petition requesting an exemption from this academic requirement. The petition is included in the graduate online application. The application allows you to provide a statement of exception or submit additional material that would document your ability to perform in an intensive academic environment.
Non-Academic Factors
The below items must be completed for programs that require a Master鈥檚 degree or higher:
- Submit a personal narrative in the form of a 2-4 page essay. Essay prompts and guidelines vary by program.
- List two persons who will provide letters of recommendations in support of your application. The recommendations should be from references familiar with your work, your academic abilities, or your potential for scholarship and professional accomplishment. If you have been out of school for several years, please feel free to submit recommendations from persons who are familiar with you on any level of professional involvement.
- Include a current resume or curriculum vitae (CV).
- Attend an admissions interview. Interviews for invited finalists differ by program. Programs may be unable to review any applicant who cannot keep an interview appointment. Interviews may take place individually or in a group format. The interviewers may be 樱花视频 faculty and administrators. Final admissions decisions are made after the results of the interviews (if required) have been reviewed.
Program-Specific Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, some certificate and credential programs at 樱花视频 have academic entry requirements necessary for matriculation into specialized programs.
The university鈥檚 admissions criteria vary from program to program and are designed to measure the qualities and capabilities required of a professional in the field to which a prospective student is applying as reflected in an applicant鈥檚 academic ability, academic preparation, and other non-academic factors.
Please refer to the program-specific requirements sections of our academic catalog for more detail:

For more information about Transcript Requirements and Policies, please see this section in our Academic Catalog.
It is your responsibility to see that all transcripts reach the Admissions Processing Center by the appropriate application deadline. To meet the deadline, it is often necessary to send transcripts on which final grades have not yet been posted. If this is the case, please provide supplementary transcripts as soon as possible. If there is a delay in processing your transcript request or if it is very near the application deadline, applicants should submit photocopies of transcripts in the interim. Without a complete set of transcripts, your application will be considered incomplete.
An application will automatically be refused or rescinded without further recourse if any fraudulent, altered, or forged documents or information are submitted. The Office of Admissions may rescind an offer of admission to applicants who do not abide by any university, program, or other standards outlined in the academic catalog.
樱花视频 reserves the right to modify admission requirements at any time.
