The graduate application consists of the following requirements:

Application Form The application form is available by mail, during the initial advising session with an academic advisor, or the local director.

Application Fee There is a $50 non-refundable application fee required to process the application form. This fee covers the cost of initiating and completing the student's admission file and establishing an official student file in the Office of the Registrar. The application will not be processed without this fee.

Graduate Student Acceptance

A student who has applied and whose official undergraduate transcript has not been received will be provisionally accepted to the graduate program. An official transcript from the institution awarding the baccalaureate degree must be received by the Jacksonville Metropolitan Campus, Attn: Pat Sager by the conclusion of the second term following the term of the student's initial registration. (Transcripts issued to students are not considered official transcripts for admission purposes.) Degree-seeking students who do not have their transcripts on file by the conclusion of the second term following the term of their initial registration will not be allowed to enroll for additional classes.

On receipt of the official transcript from the institution awarding the baccalaureate degree, the student will receive full acceptance to the graduate program. (Certain degrees and majors have extensive prerequisite requirements that must be met before acceptance.)

Advancement to Candidacy

A fully accepted student who has completed 12 graduate credit hours of Webster University coursework with grades of B or above within the first 15 credit hours of enrollment in courses required for the degree (excluding program prerequisites) will be advanced to candidacy.
