Admission to Non-Degree Status

Under special circumstances, individuals who wish to take graduate courses (courses numbered 5000 and above) for audit or credit, but not enter as a degree-seeking student may be permitted to do so on a space-available basis with faculty and Program Assistant Dean permission. Non-degree status is limited to students who have already earned baccalaureate degrees (official transcript required) and is not available for all courses. Non-degree status is permitted for up to 9.0 credit hours of coursework. Non-degree status is not permissible in Online Programs. Students must be admitted to the Online MBA,  Online MS in Marketing, Foundations in Business Analytics Certificate or Online MSBA to register for classes offered through the programs.

After written approval from the instructor and Program Associate Dean, interested students should contact the Program to request an Non-Degree Seeking Student Application. Registration will be processed by the Graduate Registrar. If approved, the individual will pay the current graduate business tuition rate for the course.

Non-degree status and visiting students must receive permission for each class in which they wish to enroll. Non-degree applications must be received no later than one week prior to the first day of classes. Non-degree students are bound by all rules and regulations of the university and its Honor Code.

Readmission

Students who are in good academic standing with the university but have not been in attendance for one or more semesters must first contact their respective Graduate Program. After Program approval, the Graduate Registrar will readmit the student and issue a time ticket (required for self registration) before they are permitted to register for classes. A domicile application, must also be submitted to the University Registrar upon re-admittance. Please vist the In-State Residency website to complete the domicile application.  Any questions about domicile eligibility should be directed to the University Registrar’s Office in Blow Memorial Hall.
