	Classified or Conditional Admission Graduate students may be admitted as "Classified" or "Conditionally Classified." "Conditionally Classified" graduate students are applicants who are deficient in one or more admission requirements but are admitted to work toward graduate degrees if certain specified conditions are met within a reasonable period of time. After such conditions are satisfied, the Advancement to Candidacy process is used to change status to an unconditional "Classified" graduate student. The specific conditions to be met by a conditionally classified student are specified in the letter of acceptance.	Katy Davis M.S. Engineering 2006 “After graduating from the University of Michigan with a bachelor’s of arts degree in education, I decided to pursue my interest in engineering.” The hands-on, learn by doing philosophy coupled with a ranking at the top of the list of state engineering schools attracted me to Cal Poly. It has been wonderful.
