Conditional Admission
Conditional admission is an option for international graduate applicants who meet all admission requirements except for demonstrated English language proficiency. Students seeking conditional admission must be enrolled in one of Marymount University's partner language institutes and satisfactorily complete the stipulated level or levels, as described below. These programs help students develop their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills to a level appropriate for university study. Completion of an intensive English program other than the programs listed does not meet the conditional admission requirement.
Note: SEVP regulation prohibits the issuance of a Form I-20 based on conditional admission. Marymount University can only issue a Form I-20 when students have met all requirement standards for admission for the program of study listed on the Form I-20. These standards for admission include any English proficiency requirements.
