Students with weak transcripts, a grade average below B, or less than 30 cohesive semester hours may enhance their position with the Admissions Committee by a personal interview to explain their background and career goals. An Applicant who may not be fully qualified for a specific degree program, may through a personal interview be directed to a non-degree or professional development program of study and thereby receive benefit and encouragement for participation in OASIS study. This does not mean that an unqualified applicant would be admitted directly to a degree program, but that faculty would attempt to facilitate further education that may qualify the applicant for entry..

11. Evidence of present ability to produce at the appropriate academic level.
