Conditional Admission
Applicants who do not meet unconditional admission standards may be granted conditional admission. Applicants desiring conditional admission must submit a letter of appeal to the Graduate Studies Office in order to initiate the appeals process. If admitted conditionally, the student enters the university on academic probation. Students with less than a 3.0 cumulative GPA at the end of the first enrollment period will be suspended from the university.
Admission for Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students who are within 12 hours of earning a bachelor's degree and meet all other unconditional graduate admission requirements may be granted graduate conditional admission by the appropriate program director and dean. Students are prohibited from enrolling in more than 15 hours of combined graduate and undergraduate hours and no more than 3 graduate hours during the undergraduate or graduate enrollment period. Students will be considered undergraduates until the bachelor's degree is conferred and will be charged the undergraduate tuition and fees.
Non-Degree Seeking Admission
Individuals may apply for non-degree seeking status if desiring to transfer earned graduate hours to another institution or to pursue a certificate program offered by Lubbock Christian University. Those wishing to transfer graduate hours to another institution must provide documentation of enrollment in a university graduate program and the approval of that university to enroll. Students admitted with non-degree seeking status are prohibited from earning more than 15 semester hours at that status, are not eligible for financial assistance, and must reapply for admission each enrollment period.
Readmission
Students who withdraw from Lubbock Christian University or stay out a full semester, but who later desire to return, must apply for readmission. Students must meet the requirements for admission described in the catalog current at the time of re-admission. Students who were suspended for academic deficiency may apply for readmission in the university after one enrollment period. The following offices must approve students applying for readmission-admissions, business office, dean of campus life, financial assistance, and registrar.
