Special Graduate Students

Under exceptional circumstances, individuals wishing to enroll in graduate courses for credit, but who have not been admitted as regular graduate students, may do so provided they:

  1. Complete the special student application form from the Office of the Registrar;
  2. Present satisfactory evidence of preparation for the course and secure written permission from the instructor of the course involved;
  3. Secure written approval of the Dean; and
  4. Pay all appropriate fees and costs.

Such special graduate students may enroll for no more than nine credit hours in one term, 18 credit hours in total. Registration will be permitted only if undue crowding of facilities will not result.
