Examples of requirements the Graduate Admissions office cannot evaluate include personal statements and letters of recommendation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expedited Admissions Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For programs that opt in, Graduate Admissions will verify whether each applicant meets the objective admissions criteria for a program. If so, the Admissions office will immediately accept the student and send the application packet to the department, but will not send a credential sheet.<\/p>\n<p>If an applicant does not meet the admissions criteria, or if this is unclear, the Graduate Admissions office will send the application packet and a credential sheet to the department. \u00a0The department will be able to review all students who do not clearly meet the requirements in the same way they currently do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to opt in<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To opt in, the program director will contact their Dean. The Dean, if supportive, will send an email to Graduate Admissions (<a href=\"mailto:graduateadmissions@marshall.edu\">graduateadmissions@marshall.edu<\/a>) and the chair of Graduate Council (Scott Davis, <a href=\"mailto:davis1090@marshall.edu\">davis1090@marshall.edu<\/a>) stating the program wishes to opt in.
