GPD Provisional Admission Steps

• Step One: Graduate Program Director Email

  When a provisional admitted student requires a final admit or deny decision you will be notified via an email similar to the one below:

  [Student Name and N#] was provisionally admitted to [Program Name] and has completed the [Current Term] semester in a provisional status. Please review the student's UNF coursework and render a decision using the Provisional Admit Review screen in Self-Service Student Maintenance. You will receive two options: fully admitted to the program, or be denied admission to the program. If the decision is to deny admission the student will be dropped from any future program courses. He/she can apply to a new graduate program.

  The student(s) you admitted provisionally will also receive an email reminding them of their provisional admit status. Their email will be similar to the one below:

  This email serves as a reminder that you are provisionally admitted to [Program Name]. Your program director has been contacted to review your admissions status and determine a final decision. If you are denied admission to  [Program Name]  then you will have a hold placed on your record. If you have questions, please contact your program director.

• Step Two: Access Provisional Admit Review

  3. Under My Applications, click the Employee Self Service link
  4. Click on the UNF Administrative Applications link

  The Term, Level, College, Program, and Major drop-down menus can be adjusted for sorting, however you will only have options for those programs that you have update privileges to. Previous terms are an option for historical information.

• Step Four: Review Student Transcripts

  Once you are ready to submit your decision, click Update. 

  Decisions for all students must be made in order to finish. The screen will save a decision if you need to exit and return to complete the review. 

  If you have any questions, please contact the Graduate School.

Applicants

• I can't view the student's admission documents and/or transcripts. What do I do?
  If you are trying to view a student's admission documents and/or transcripts, but can't, it could be:
  

  1. You are not on a secure UNF network. Please refer to ITS for instructions on how to set up a secure network.
  2. You do not have the appropriate access. Please contact the Graduate School.
• Where are the student's transcripts located?
  You will find student transcripts in different locations. The location varies depending on whether you are wanting to view UNF courses or transfer courses, and how the transcript was received. 

  1. Log into  myWings.
  2. Select the  Staff  tile.
  3. Under My Applications, click the  Employee Self Service  link.
  4. Click on the  UNF Administrative Applications  link.
  5. Click on the  Student Information  link. From this menu you will be able to locate the student's transcripts. It is recommended you check each area to ensure you are reviewing the entire record and most up-to-date information.

  UNF coursework: Found on the Student Transcript in myWings (under UNF Administrative Applications, Student Information).
   
  Transfer institution transcripts that arrived via the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system: Found on the Transfer Evaluation in myWings (under UNF Administrative Applications, Student Information). Any transfer work and degrees earned that were received in this format will populate. The majority of Florida's public institutions will use this method to send transcripts.

  Transfer institutions transcripts uploaded by the applicant: Found on the Slate Reader under Transcripts.
   
  Transfer institution transcripts that arrived in paper format or emailed digital copy: Found in the scanning database, OnBase.  
  Important Notes

  • If a transcript is not indicated as official it does not mean it isn't current. Many transcripts we receive are missing proof of degree earned but will be current on coursework. They should still be used for admission review. 
  • Please check received dates to ensure you are looking at the most current information.
  • Any student with an outstanding proof of degree and/or who has coursework in progress, will have an open application checklist item requesting the missing information. They can be admitted but will need to satisfy this requirement within their first term of enrollment at UNF.
• How do I view applicants for my program?
  To review all applicants in your program (will include those incomplete, canceled, denied, referred, and admitted applicants), please refer to the Slate reports. Individual applicants can be pulled directly from the report or searched in Slate.
• How long do I have to review an application?

  The application process requires the Graduate School to cancel incomplete applications after the deadline for the term. Students with incomplete applications are regularly notified via email of missing items during the active submission window and are always prompted to consistently check their status through their application portal. The Graduate School additionally leaves applications open after the deadline to allow in-progress students to submit outstanding checklist items.

  While we make every effort to help applicants complete the requirements, we must also maintain an accurate record of our applications and close the active cycle by canceling incomplete submissions. Once the cancellation decision is rendered, it cannot be reversed. Students will need to apply online for a future term or apply as non-degree seeking for the canceled term, if the non-degree application window is still open.

• What if a student applied to the wrong program or the wrong term?
  If you believe one of your applicants applied to the wrong program or the incorrect term, you should send the referral back to us as deny or cancel if they do not qualify for your program or for the term they applied for. We recommend you not only reach out to the applicant, but also add a comment on the reader form so we can advise the student of why they received their decision should they contact us.
