 raduate
nondegree students take graduate level course work for
personal enrichment, professional development, certification
or to familiarize themselves with the rigors of a graduate
program before applying. Graduate nondegree students
are admitted to the university, not to a specific degree
granting, graduate program. Graduate Nondegree
status is also appropriate for students actively pursuing
a graduate degree at another college or university, and
who wish to earn graduate credit for transfer back to
that institution.
