Provisional admission simply means you’ve been accepted to Relay Graduate School of Education—congratulations!—but you still have one or more final steps to complete before you’re fully enrolled.

Most often, this applies to applicants who are finishing their bachelor’s degree. You can be admitted while completing your remaining coursework, but before you can register for or begin classes, Relay must receive and verify your official transcript showing your degree has been conferred.
 

Here’s what that means in practice:

• You’re officially accepted, but your enrollment is pending final documents (like your conferred transcript).
• To remove your provisional status, you must submit your official transcript confirming your bachelor’s degree has been awarded.
• You can’t start classes or access federal financial aid until everything is submitted and approved.
• Once your transcript is received and meets program requirements, you’ll be fully admitted and ready to begin coursework.

If those requirements aren’t completed by the deadline, you may have the option to defer to a future term—or, in some cases, your admission could be withdrawn.

In short, provisional admission is a supportive bridge: it allows you to secure your place at Relay while you finish up those final steps and officially confirm your degree.
