Graduate Non-Degree-Seeking Enrollment
Graduate Non-Degree-Seeking Status
Students who have received a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution (or international equivalent) are eligible to enroll in some graduate classes as a graduate non-degree-seeking student without being formally admitted into a graduate program.
Graduate Non-Degree-Seeking Application Process
Graduate non-degree-seeking applicants must submit the following:
- a graduate non-degree-seeking application through the Grad Rebel Gateway application portal;
- a $30 non-refundable application processing fee - payable to the UNLV Board of Regents by check, money order, or online by credit card;
- proof of a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution (or international equivalent) in the form of a copy of a transcript or diploma. It is recommended that applicants upload proof of degree directly into the application; however, email, mail, and fax submissions are also accepted.
Graduate Non-Degree-Seeking Enrollment
Graduate program faculty in each department determine whether graduate non-degree-seeking students may enroll in their graduate courses and are responsible for determining the adequacy of preparation of graduate non-degree-seeking students before allowing them to take any upper-division or graduate courses. The student should check with the academic department about graduate courses accessible to graduate non-degree-seeking students. It is the student’s responsibility to provide proof of adequate preparation if requested.
Graduate non-degree-seeking students may enroll in up to 15 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters and up to 12 credits during the summer (no more than six credits in a single five-week term). Graduate non-degree-seeking students are not eligible for federal financial aid or Graduate College scholarships or fellowships.
A graduate non-degree-seeking student wishing to seek a degree must separately apply for admission to the Graduate College and pay an application processing fee. A maximum of 15-credits of graduate-level coursework taken with grades of B or better as a graduate non-degree-seeking student may count toward the degree program at the discretion and approval of the graduate coordinator, and/or department chair, and Graduate College dean.
In order to remain active and eligible to enroll, graduate non-degree seeking students must complete at least one credit of enrollment in the current or previous five semesters. Graduate non-degree-seeking students who do not meet this enrollment requirement will have their status deactivated and need to reapply in order to enroll in future courses.
