Everglades University Catalog Addendum
Graduate Programs Entrance Examination Waiver under COVID-19
Effective March 9, 2020

Due to the restraints and obstacles presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to registering and sitting for the GRE and GMAT assessments, Everglades University will conditionally admit applicants to its graduate programs without GRE or GMAT scores if their undergraduate GPA is between 2.0 and 2.49. Graduate applicants with an undergraduate GPA of 2.50 or above are not required to submit GRE or GMAT scores for admission. 

Students admitted under this waiver will be conditionally admitted for one semester on a status of “Probation.” These conditionally-admitted applicants will be required to meet the minimum metrics of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) within the first semester: 3.00 GPA and 67% completion rate. Students conditionally admitted under this waiver will sign the COVID-19 Graduate Conditional Admissions form acknowledging understanding that they will be place on a Probation status, and further understand they must meet SAP by the end of the first semester or face academic consequences in accordance with University policy.

A student admitted on this “Probation” status will be closely monitored during his or her first semester; if the student meets SAP during the first semester, the “Probation” status will be changed to “Active” to indicate good academic standing. If the student does not meet SAP in the first semester, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning all rules and procedures will be followed in accordance with Everglades University’s SAP Policy, up to and including Academic Dismissal, if the student cannot demonstrate satisfactory academic progress according to the University’s policy.

This waiver will be in effect until further notice, when University officials are able to determine sufficient improvement in the pandemic conditions that have created the impediments for students to complete the GRE or GMAT exams.
