Semester grade check

All graduate students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA to remain in good standing. After the end of fall, spring, and summer semester graduate coordinators will receive a list of all students in their programs with a GPA under 3.0. For each student the coordinator will need to review the advisement directions and then file either a probation request or a termination request with the Graduate School. For GAs with GPA under 3.0, there are additional directions for review of assistantship eligibility.

Requesting late processing of a student-at-large application

Student-at-large applications for each semester now close on the Friday before classes start. Under certain circumstances department chairs/school directors and graduate coordinators may ask Admissions to process a late at-large application.

Those requests for exceptions to the application deadline must come to Admissions directly from the chair or coordinator, not from the student.

Department chairs/school directors or graduate coordinators who confirm that there is an open seat in one or more of their courses and are willing to have the student-at-large add the course/s late may e-mail Trish James pljames@ilstu.edu or Dawn Cagley dmcagle@ilstu.edu in Admissions. The message should have the subject line AT-LARGE, LATE and state in the body of the message the student’s name and the course number/s and section/s where the student is welcome. Those permissions to apply late do not require a special form or a Graduate School approval, only the e-mail message. The student’s at-large application will then be processed after the deadline.

The chair/director or coordinator may require that the student first secure permission from the instructor of the course/s before considering a request for late processing of an at-large application.

After the application for admission to student at large is processed the student will still need to register for the course.
