Graduate Admission
Within the limits of its facilities and its obligations as a state university, William & Mary offers the possibility of admission to all qualified students without regard to age, sex/gender, race, color, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, disability, protected veteran status and other protected classifications.
All students admitted to graduate programs at the Raymond A. Mason School of Business must have a conferred bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution prior to matriculation.
For additional admissions information go to https://graduate.mason.wm.edu/ and select a specific Program.
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 Associate 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 any of the Online Programs. Students must be admitted to an online degree or certificate program to register for the classes offered through the online programs.
After written approval from the instructor and Program Associate Dean, interested students should contact the Program to request a 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.
Enrollment in Multiple Programs
Students can be enrolled in only one graduate program at W&M unless the two programs are listed in this catalog as a combined degree program offered by the Raymond A. Mason School of Business.
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 visit 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.
