International Students

An international student seeking admission into a School of Business and Leadership graduate program should refer to the international admission section of this catalog for additional information on credentials needed for admission.

Conditional Admission

Conditional acceptance is granted on the merits of each case. In some circumstances, OLLU conditionally admits applicants who do not meet all of the requirements for regular admission if they fulfill the conditions listed in their letters of conditional acceptance within the specified period of time. If admitted conditionally with missing official credentials, the time to provide those documents will not extend beyond the first term of attendance. See conditional admission requirements for each degree program for specific conditional admission details.

Special Admission (Non-Degree Seeking)

If an applicant wishes to register only for course work and not for degree work, the SBL may admit that applicant as a Special Student. To take any courses, such applicant must meet the foundation and prerequisite requirements. Acceptance as a special student does not guarantee regular admission.
