In some cases it may be advantageous for a student to take course as a
nondegree student.
- For personal enrichment or to advance their career by taking selected
courses.
- To make progress towards a graduate degree before an application has been
formally approved. This often occurs when a student applies too late to be
admitted for the current semester (see deadlines).
- Applicants who feel they may be rejected or who have been rejected
because of their previous academic record, but who feel that they can
succeed in the program, may register as nondegree students.
Performance in courses taken as nondegree credits carries considerable
weight in (re-)evaluating the applicant in such cases.
Nondegree students should study the
course descriptions and pre-requisites in order to make sure that the course
selected will meet their needs. Students wishing to continue on towards a degree
program should consult the Graduate Program Director for advice.
