Graduate Credit for Qualified Undergraduate Seniors

Undergraduate students at the senior level with a high academic average in their field may be authorized to enroll in six graduate credits while completing undergraduate requirements. Such course work will require the written approval of the dean. This approval does not presume automatic admission into a graduate program. These credits may be applied towards fulfillment of undergraduate degree requirements if they satisfy a specific requirement. However, these credits cannot be used towards both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements.

Undergraduate students who wish to enroll in graduate courses must follow the steps below:

Have a faculty advisor certify to the dean that all undergraduate graduation requirements will be met.
Have the dean file a letter with the Registrar prior to registration stating that the student will meet all requirements for a bachelor’s degree and that the graduate credits (3 or 6) are over and above all undergraduate requirements.
