As stated in your acceptance letter, initial admission is provisional and contingent upon the successful completion of any coursework in progress. Please notify the Admissions Office if you plan to drop a class or make a change to your schedule.
Additionally, note that if your academic performance declines following your admission decision, bringing your cumulative GPA below an acceptable level; if you drop or fail coursework in which you were enrolled at the time of admissions; or if you fail to graduate, Seattle University reserves the right to withdraw admission. It is essential that you confer with Admissions Office personnel promptly if you experience any of these academic difficulties following your initial admission.
