Non-Degree Student Admissions

Overview

Verified non-degree admission status may be available for an individual with an undergraduate or graduate degree from a regionally accredited institution who is not seeking a graduate degree from UNO or who would like to take classes prior to submitting an application for the degree program. Applicants applying for the verified non-degree admission status need only submit an application for admission, the required application fee, and official degree transcript. A cumulative GPA of at least a 2.7 is also required.

• Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid. Advisors are not assigned to non-degree students.
• Non-Degree students are advised to consult with the department chair or other designee regarding class availability and prerequisites before attempting to register. Because of limited class size and resources, enrollment in classes as a non-degree seeking student is limited to a total of 9 credit hours. To determine whether a non-degree student is allowed to enroll in a graduate course, please check the course descriptions listed on the Class Search.
• Admission to a degree program, or to unclassified admission from non-degree status is not guaranteed. Graduate-level hours taken as a non-degree graduate student prior to admission into a master's degree program may be included in the program of study at the discretion of the department chair, counseling faculty, and the graduate dean. Students changing from non-degree status may also be required to take certain prerequisite courses by the department chair, counseling faculty, and the dean for Graduate Studies.
