Non-Degree Graduate (NDG):

Eligibility for application requires a Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university.

Applicants must also submit:

1. Graduate Admissions Application
2. Official, final and sealed transcripts from most recent degree
3. Personal Affirmation Form (education only)

Note: If a non-degree graduate student selects a course offered by the School of Education that requires field experience, the non-degree graduate student must receive approval of the Dean of the School of Education before registering for the course.

Non-degree status is available for applicants who wish to take undergraduate or graduate level courses for personal or professional enrichment. No more than nine semester hours may be taken as a non-degree graduate student. Applicants who wish to enroll in more than nine semester hours as a non-degree graduate student must apply for permission from the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

The non-degree graduate student must meet prerequisite course requirements for any course taken. Non-degree graduate students are not assigned an academic advisor and are allowed to register for courses on a space-available basis where size limitation is a concern.

Courses taken as a non-degree graduate student may not be applied to a degree until the applicant has completed the admissions requirements for that degree including any required admissions test. These courses will be evaluated by the Registrar and the program director or chair. Policies regarding transfer courses will apply.

Tuition for graduate courses taken as a non-degree student is charged at the graduate tuition rate.
