Admission to Graduate School does not imply admission to a graduate degree program. Applicants must meet the necessary departmental requirements to be admitted to a spe-cific degree program. For departmental requirements, refer to the section of the catalog detailing the specific degree program.

adMission of nEw GRaduaTE sTudEnTs1. An applicant for admission into Graduate School must submit the following:

a. An application for admission. An applicant may apply at apply.mcneese.edu.

b. Official copies of transcripts from each college attended. Transcripts should be sent directly to the Office of Admissions and Recruiting by the institutions attended.

c. Official copies of the required standardized test scores (GRE or GMAT). Official test scores should be sent directly from the testing agency to McNeese and cannot be more than five years old at the date of submission and application for admission.

i. GRE test scores are required of degree-seeking applicants and regular non-de-gree-seeking applicants as well as those seeking a graduate certificate or certain post-baccalaureate certificates. Applicants for the MBA degree program are re-quired to submit GMAT or GRE test scores.

1. Regular non-degree-seeking applicants may be admitted on a provisional ba-sis for one term of enrollment while in the process of obtaining GRE test scores. Registration for subsequent terms will be prohibited pending receipt of GRE test scores.

ii. GMAT test scores may not be substituted for GRE test scores.

iii. Proof of a master’s degree may waive the GRE requirement; however, the GRE waiver is at the recommendation of the academic department head and approval by the Dean of the Graduate School.

iv. Information about the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) can be obtained from the Office of Admis-sions and Recruiting, the Graduate School, the Office of Scholarships and Testing, orfromEducationalTestingService,P.O.Box955,Princeton,NewJersey08540(http://www.ets.org/).

d. Proof of immunization. According to Louisiana law, students entering McNeese

for the first time who were born after 1956 must provide proof of immunization against preventable and/or communicable diseases, including measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus-diphtheria (MMR, Td) prior to admission. The Proof of Im-munization form may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Recruiting or the University’s Web site at www.mcneese.edu/admissions/application-forms.

e.Anon-refundableapplicationfeeof$20.00(checkormoneyorder).

f. Proof of Selective Service registration. Males 18-25 years old, entering McNeese for the first time, are required to register for the federal draft under the federal Military Service Act and must submit proof of their registration with the Selective Service System.

2. All records submitted become the property of the University and cannot be returned to the applicant or any other party.

3. Applications and records should be on file at least 30 days prior to registration.Applications are accepted after this, but the student should contact the Graduate School office for further information.

4. Falsification of any information when applying for admission may result in the re-fusal of the applicant or dismissal from the University.

5. No applicant shall be denied admission to McNeese University on the basis of gen-der, sexual orientation, race, creed, or national origin.

6. Individual academic departments have their own standards for admission. These standards incorporate both qualitative and quantitative criteria which are more spe-cific than those established by the University. Therefore, admission into Graduate School does not guarantee admission into specific degree programs.
