Undergraduate Students in Graduate Courses

Undergraduate students may be permitted to enroll in up to 12 credits of graduate level courses for undergraduate credit. With approval from the appropriate department or program, students may request up to an additional three credits.

Students who later matriculate into an affiliated graduate program may be able to apply these credits toward both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees, subject to program approval.

In general, students requesting to enroll in graduate level courses should have completed at least 75 credits and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. Students may also be required to meet additional criteria set by their undergraduate and/or graduate program.

To be eligible for undergraduate tuition and fee rates, undergraduate students enrolled in graduate-level courses must maintain full-time status (12 or more credits) during the fall or spring semester. Full-time status is not available during the winter session or summer term; as a result, tuition and fees for those terms are billed based on the course level.
