Students talking outdoorsNon-Degree-Seeking Status

Non-degree-seeking status is designed for students who wish to enroll in graduate classes without pursuing a specific degree. It does not represent admission into a degree program or imply automatic admission into a degree program at a later date.

Applicants who are admitted as non-degree-seeking admission students can apply for degree-seeking admission for future terms. Should a student later decide to apply to one of our graduate degree programs, the student will need to submit a complete application for the desired program. Students looking to transfer credits into their desired program will need to follow guidelines stated in the Transfer Credit Policy in the 亚色影库 . For more information about applying to a degree-seeking program, please visit the Apply Now page.

Non-degree-seeking students are not eligible for financial aid and will need to receive department permission before registering for classes from the program coordinator. After being admitted to a non-degree-seeking program, students will receive information from Graduate Admissions about how to register for coursework.

Non-Degree Application Process

Students pursuing non-degree-seeking status may take an unlimited number of courses under this admission category. Along with the application, applicants must also submit official transcripts from all colleges/universities in which a degree was earned. As you proceed, please ensure that you select “Graduate Non-Degree Seeking” as your program of choice in the application.  You will then be prompted to choose the program for which you would like to take coursework.
