Post-baccalaureate non-degree student classification status allows students with bachelor's degrees to enroll in credit courses.  You can also apply as a post baccalaureate non-degree student while seeking admission as a graduate degree-seeking student.  Individuals enrolling as non-degree students are limited to 9 hours of graduate coursework. A student seeking admission to a College of Education graduate program may enroll in a maximum of 12 credit hours. Applicants seeking post-baccalaureate certification, teacher certification or re-certification may request an exemption to the credit hour limit. 

An official transcript providing proof of a bachelor's degree must be submitted for admission.  An unofficial transcript can be used for admission purposes pending the receipt of an official transcript during the first semester of attendance.   Other items may be required for admission into specific certificate programs. 

Registration for post-baccalaureate non-degree students is on a space-available basis.  Non-degree students are subject to the same academic policies and standards as degree-seeking students.  Please refer to the University Catalog for more information. 

Non-degree students are not eligible to receive financial aid with the exception of teacher certification.
