● and a self- appraisal of specific strengths and challenges. ● Current résumé (or Curriculum Vitae). ● Faculty review and interview. (Refer to current NLU Catalog and the Master of Science in Counseling Program enrollment materials) Please note: The writing exercises should be the applicant’s best effort in addressing the subject matter as requested. Correct spelling and grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure are necessary to help determine the applicant’s ability to do graduate coursework. Once all admissions materials are received and assessed, and the faculty interview is completed, a faculty committee will meet, review all completed applications and send a recommendation to the Admissions Department where a final decision is made. Applicants will be notified by the Admissions Department for one of three decisions: Full Admission, Provisional Admission, or Denial. If a fully-admitted student receives a C grade, the student will be placed on academic probation and will have the opportunity to retake the course. The retaken course must be passed with an A or B before the student can advance in the program. Only two C grades can be repeated during the master’s-level course work. A third C or any D or F grade will result in dismissal from the counseling program. All provisional students must earn at least a B in each of the first two courses or they will be dropped from the program. Full Admission If a student with full admission status receives a “C” grade at any time during his/her academic career at NLU, the student will be placed on probation and may not be allowed to move forward in the program until the course is retaken. The student will be notified in writing about this change in academic status (see University Graduate Catalog). If a student receives an Incomplete, the course must be completed by the end of the next term, or the student will not be allowed to continue in the program. Provisional Admission Provisional Admission, also known as a two course review, means that a student must earn at least a “B” in each of the first two graded courses after being admitted. The provisional status will be changed to full status after successful completion of the first two courses. If a provisional student receives an Incomplete in one of the first two courses, the course must be completed by the end of the next term, or the student will not be allowed to continue in the program. Admission Denied Admission denial is not appealable nor the reasons for denial.
