Enrollment in Graduate Courses

For Undergraduate Credit

An undergraduate student with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher and within 30 credit hours of graduation may enroll in a graduate course and apply the credits earned to an undergraduate degree after obtaining approval from the student’s academic advisor, the instructor of the course, the chair of the department offering the course, and the undergraduate associate dean of the college offering the course. Approval forms are available on the One Stop Enrollment website. All approvals must be obtained and the form filed by the time of registration. Students are encouraged to begin collecting the appropriate authorizations before the start of the registration period.
