3. Once placed in pre-admission status, students will be assigned to a graduate advisor, with whom they can discuss graduate programs at St. Edward’s University.

Acceptance into Graduate Programs

A student who meets the standards for conditional graduate admission will be automatically admitted to his or her respective graduate program upon successful completion of all requirements for the undergraduate degree and after fulfilling the requirements for conditional admission to that program. Should a student wish unconditional admission, he or she must follow all the steps outlined in the Graduate Bulletin. For further information, contact the Center for Academic Progress.
