Types of MSOL Admissions - Students meeting all admission requirements will be accepted as degree candidates. On an individual basis, applicants who show promise for successful graduate work who do not meet all qualifications may be considered for admission under academic observation. In rare instances, applicants who cannot supply the required credentials in a timely manner may be granted non-degree status. Graduate non-degree status may be granted for the administrative convenience of the school and/or students. Admission on this basis is for one semester only and does not guarantee or imply that the individual will be accepted as a degree candidate. The applicant's admission file must be complete at the end of the first semester so that an application decision may be reached by the second semester. Students with incomplete application files will not be permitted to register for the second semester.
A student enrolled in an MSOL program at another institution may take courses at JU as a "graduate transient" student for one semester only. The student must present a "transient form" from his or her degree-granting institution indicating good standing. Jacksonville University accepts no responsibility regarding the transferability of its MSOL courses to other institutions.
Veterans Applications - Jacksonville University welcomes applications from veterans to the MSOL Program. The MSOL Program fully qualifies for the financial benefits available to veterans or their dependents.
Transfer and Transient Credit - A maximum of twelve (12) semester hours or 20-quarter hours of graduate academic credit may be transferred from an accredited AACSB academic institution or approved by the Director of Graduate Business Programs. The credit must be in courses similar in content and rigor to Jacksonville University's Graduate Programs, and the grade must be at least a "B" or with Director of Graduate Program’s approval. To be eligible for transfer credit, the student must submit a transcript and catalog description of the course(s) to the Director of Graduate Business Programs. Any work transferred to Jacksonville University will be entered on the JU transcript as hours earned only and will not be used in computation of the grade point average.
Students admitted to a Davis College of Business & Technology Graduate Program will normally be expected to satisfy degree requirements by taking courses at JU. Permission to take a course at another institution for transient credit will only be granted in the presence of extenuating circumstances. The Director of Graduate Business Programs must approve transient study in advance of the student taking the course. Transient credit will only be awarded if the grade earned in an approved course is at least a "B" or with Director of Graduate Program’s approval.
