UNDERGRADUATES REGISTERING FOR GRADUATE
COURSES
Under limited circumstances, seniors may register for a
limited number of graduate-level courses either to count
toward the completion of the undergraduate degree plan, or
to count above and beyond the required number of hours for
the undergraduate degree requirements. Only six hours of
graduate credit may be taken to count toward completion of
undergraduate degree requirements. Graduate credits taken
above and beyond the requirements of the undergraduate
degree plan are eligible to count toward future graduate
degree work.
In both cases, the student must have the necessary
prerequisite course work and the written permissions of the
undergraduate advisor, the course instructor, and the Dean of
Graduate Studies. The Dean’s permission will be based on
review of the undergraduate academic record and evidence
of the student’s ability to succeed in graduate level course
work.
The form for permission to register in graduate courses may
be obtained in the Office of Graduate Studies. Undergraduate
registration in graduate courses may only be completed in the
Registrar’s Office. Students will be required to submit the
permission form with all required signatures along with the
registration form.
