You can take certain graduate courses by enrolling in the Graduate School as a non-degree-seeking student. However, not all courses are open to nondegree students, and if you later decide to work toward a degree, at most 12 semester hours taken while you were in the nondegree category can be counted toward a degree.
Any international student wishing to apply as a nondegree student must have approval from the International Office, submit a copy of their bachelor's degree for the Graduate School Director's approval, and receive permission from the instructor of the course on their registration form.
Financial aid is NOT available to students who are catagorized as nondegree seeking students.
The deadline for the nondegree application is 5:00 p.m. on the day one week prior to the beginning of classes.
