Auditing graduate courses

If you want to audit a graduate course at ������Ƶ, you must be a graduate student or hold a bachelor's degree.

Submit an application through our online application system, specifying your intent to audit. If your application is successful, you’ll need to submit official transcripts.

You'll also need to demonstrate your English language proficiency.

Audited courses will not appear on your official transcript and will not be considered for admission, prerequisite or course requirements.

Non-degree coursework

You can take graduate courses for credit without working towards a degree at ������Ƶ. Non-degree coursework is a great way to improve your GPA or learn new skills. You must apply and meet the same entrance requirements as degree-seeking applicants.

Before you apply, you should determine which courses you want to take as a non-degree student. List the department code and course number for these classes on your application (for example, ANTH 500). You can view a full list of graduate courses on our academic calendar.

Fees for courses taken by non-degree students are charged differently than fees for courses taken by degree-seeking students. Any fees paid as a non-degree student cannot be applied to a graduate degree later.
