Students who wish to undertake graduate study but who do not intend to become candidates for a higher degree are classified as nondegree students. This classification includes those who wish to take selected courses to earn credit for personal or professional benefit and those who enroll as summer visitors. In order to gain admission as a Non-degree Student during the academic year, such students must file a nondegree application form and present evidence of a baccalaureate degree. Entry to certificate or diploma programs may require evidence of additional credentials.
Students who are teachers and wish to meet certification requirements but who do not plan to become degree candidates are also admitted with non-degree status. Non-degree students are permitted to enroll in only those courses that have been specifically designated by departments as being available to such students. Individual exceptions require special permission by the coordinator of the program in which the student wishes to enroll and by the appropriate dean.
Nondegree special students are limited to a maximum of 12 credits in courses regularly applicable to a graduate degree. Waiver of this limitation requires the appropriate dean’s approval.
Students must complete an application.
