Conditional Admissions Petitions
Petitions to request the removal of conditional admissions status that deal with required grade point average (GPA), language proficiency, and submission of an official test score can be made to Dr. Darlene Grant, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.
Conditions that Dean Grant does NOT resolve include submission of an official transcript and the submission of an official degree award; failure to provide these credentials will result in a registration bar placed upon the student in question by the Graduate and International Admissions Center (GIAC). These bars will be removed once the credentials have been received by GIAC.
Petitions to waive conditions for the purpose of employment must be made to Dr. Terry Kahn, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. For assistance with these petitions, please contact Shannon Harris, Dr. Kahn’s assistant, at shannon.harris@austin.utexas.edu.
Appropriate conditional admissions petitions can be submitted to Dean Grant via surface mail, FAX, or e-mail (addressed to Dr. Darlene Grant, Graduate School, The University of Texas at Austin, #1 University Station, Mail Stop G0400, Austin, TX 78712-5390; FAX(512) 471-7620, or email to d.grant@mail.utexas.edu).
