admissible. No course with a grade below a B would be transferred and applied to a UNO degree. If they don’t meet the overall GPA minimum, they could be admitted conditionally if the department strongly advocates for them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">To All:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope all is well and I am hoping you can help me with an issue. We have policies in place here at McNeese for admitting students on probationary status and also readmitting students that have been suspended for failing a graduate class
or low GPA. What we do not have is a policy for admitting students who have failed a graduate course at another university and then want to come to McNeese. Do any of you have a written policy for this and/or how do you deal with this situation? I know it
can be a case by case basis, but do you have any requirements for the process?<o:p></o:p></p>
