- For all applicants: Applicants to Relay Graduate School of Education are required to satisfy all requirements on their admissions and extended admissions checklists in order to be fully enrolled students.
- For applicants who have certain admissions requirements in-progress or outstanding at the time of admission: Applicants may be conditionally admitted to Relay.
- What is Conditional Admissions?: Conditional admissions refers to students who have been admitted conditionally to Relay on the basis of outstanding admissions requirements. While a student is conditionally admitted they have financial implications, and if they do not satisfy the requirements by the established deadlines - they have academic and certification implications. Once a student who was conditionally admitted has satisfied their outstanding conditional admissions items, they are considered fully enrolled students at Relay.
- Financial Implications: The following implications apply to all students who are conditionally admitted:
- Federal Aid - Students conditionally admitted are not ineligible for federal aid (i.e. federal unsubsidized direct loans and TEACH grants)
- Tuition Charges - Students remain responsible for paying the full balance of tuition and fees that have been charged to them, including any unpaid tuition due to unearned pending awards.
- Loan Deferral Implications - Students are ineligible to receive in-school deferment for pre-existing student loans. Students in Alt Route programs do not qualify for in-school loan deferment under any circumstances.
- Veteran Affairs (VA) implications - Students seeking to apply for VA benefits in an approved location, can only receive benefits for two terms. Any benefits sought after their second term, a student must matriculate.
