Enrollment Prerequisites
Preparing to Enroll
All non-degree applicants who have earned a bachelor's degree must apply for non-degree courses through the Office of Graduate Education to enroll in either undergraduate or graduate-level听courses.听Additionally, non-native English speakers must follow standard graduate admission requirements to demonstrate proof of English听. Non-degree students must apply each term.
Admission as a non-degree student does not guarantee admission to a 91桃色 graduate degree program. If the student subsequently wishes to undertake a degree program at the 91桃色, the regular application procedures must be followed, including the submission of the required application fee.
Students can take a maximum of three non-degree courses. After three courses, students must apply to a degree-seeking program or indicate on the non-degree application that they wish to continue courses for personal growth only.
