We can admit with some missing foundations, noted as admission restrictions - such restrictions can be removed by providing new evidence, or by taking noted coursework, before or after arrival. Applicants with more than three missing subject areas are advised to gather additional knowledge through credit or noncredit studies and reapply. Any expected subject area not explicitly seen in the transcripts should be detailed in the statement of intent provided with application.
