Non-Degree-Seeking Students

Students who have earned a bachelor's degree and would like to enroll in undergraduate or graduate-level courses may apply for admission through The Graduate College as a non-degree seeking student. As a non-degree seeking student, you would not be pursuing any of our graduate programs, but may enroll for personal enrichment or to fulfill prerequisites for another program.

Once you have found the course(s) you would like to take, you will need to contact the appropriate graduate advisor or department chair for approval as some departments/programs do not admit non-degree-students while others may admit after evaluating course availability. Read more details about the document used to confirm approval.
