Visiting Non-Degree Students

Interested in enrolling in one of our classes without pursuing a degree? Individuals with a completed undergraduate degree from an accredited institution are permitted to enroll in 1-2 graduate level courses from our program with approval from the Program Directors and the Graduate School. Merit aid will not be offered for non-degree students. Learn more.

Criteria and Regulations

The “visiting non-degree student” status was established to provide qualified individuals with a completed undergraduate degree from an accredited institution (and a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher) with the opportunity to enroll in 1–2 graduate-level classes during the fall or spring semesters for their own benefit or, in some cases, to complete a few prerequisites for graduate-level programs to which they are applying.

This status is not intended for long-term enrollment—if you are registering for graduate-level courses, you can complete a maximum of 9 credits while in this status. If you are hoping to enroll in additional coursework, you should apply directly to your graduate program of interest. Learn more about becoming a visiting non-degree student.
