Provisionally admitted - What does it mean?

Just got an email saying I've been 'provisionally admitted' to a college. What does that actually mean? Are there conditions I have to meet to keep my spot, or am I fully in? Any insights would be appreciated!

Congratulations on your admission! In general, being provisionally admitted does mean that your acceptance is contingent upon certain conditions. At many colleges, these conditions usually pertain to maintaining similar academic performance as displayed in your application or fulfilling a few remaining application requirements, such as sending in final transcripts or proof of graduation from your high school.

Be sure to thoroughly read any correspondence you receive regarding your provisional admission, as the school will lay out the specific conditions you need to meet. If there's any confusion, please don't hesitate to reach out directly to the college's admissions office. They will be more than willing to clarify any part of your provisional admission that you're unsure about.

So, while you have been accepted, it's essential to meet all the prescribed conditions to ensure that your admission status doesn't change. With that in mind, best of luck as you work towards meeting the conditions of your provisional admission. This is an exciting time, and your hard work in meeting these conditions will only amplify your success at the college level!
