Special admit students are incoming students who do not meet the minimum admission requirements for Massachusetts State Universities set forth by the Department of Higher Education. Common reasons that students are considered special admits include having a high school GPA below 3.0, having less than two years of foreign language, or less than four years of high school math. The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education allows a maximum of 10% of the incoming class to be classified as special admit students.
