Admission is Not Guaranteed
Applicants and students concede that neither acceptance of their application nor acceptance of unofficial transcripts, nor enrollment in a course guarantees ultimate admission to Trident or to the program of choice. Students may be permitted to enroll in courses; however, students will have until the deadline identified in the General Admission Policy to ensure that Trident has received all documents required for admission to Trident and degree program of choice. Students will be placed on an enrollment hold if all documents are not received by the applicable deadline. Failure to provide this documentation by the applicable deadline may result in the delay in admission, denial of admission or withdrawal from Trident.
In considering an application, Trident reserves the right to seek verification of identity by requesting a color copy of a current and valid identification card such as a government-issued driver’s license or state identification card, or any other documentation serving as confirmation of identity, including proof of residence, along with official transcripts from high school and/or all previously attended institutions as well as a notarized Statement of Educational Purpose. Trident shall neither require nor accept military ID as proof of identity. It is ultimately the responsibility of the student to provide all requested information. Review and consideration of applications may take 30 days or more after receipt of all requested information and documentation.
To protect its character and standards and to ensure the integrity of the academic process, Trident reserves the right (and applicants concede the right to Trident) to refuse to accept an application, refuse to allow enrollment or deny/revoke admission to any student based on one or more of the following:
- The Applicant fails to provide the information and documents requested by Trident by the established deadline.
- Applications or other admission and supplemental documents contain false, fraudulent, missing, inconsistent or incomplete information.
- Discrepancies in the application, admission documents, or any other documentation or communication from the applicant.
- The applicant does not meet the admission requirements.
- The applicant makes threats, poses as a threat or potential danger, to Trident or its staff.
- The applicant violates any one of the published university policies.
- The applicant engages in behavior that is disruptive to the Trident community or its operations.
- The applicant will be unable to meet and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress in their selected program (returning students only).
Trident does not accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New York, and certain foreign countries seeking to enroll at the University.
