1. Make an acceptable score in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Information regarding this test may be obtained by writing the Educational Testing Service, Box 899, Princeton, NJ 08540 or by presenting a certificate of completion from a State Regents approved English Program.

Graduate non-degree students take graduate level course work for personal enrichment, professional development, certification or to familiarize themselves with the rigors of a graduate program before applying. Graduate non-degree students are admitted to the University, not to a specific degree granting, graduate programs. Graduate non-degree status is also appropriate for students actively pursuing a graduate degree at another college or university, and who wish to earn graduate credit for transfer back to that institution.
GRADUATE NON-DEGREE RESTRICTIONS AND POLICIES:
Eligibility requires an earned Baccalaureate degree.
Admission to graduate non-degree status neither guarantees nor implies subsequent admission to a degree program. Regular degree seeking students must submit a separate application in order to be considered for graduate admission.
Some classes are restricted to degree seeking students only. You should contact the RCP director to be sure that the course you wish to take will be available.
If a graduate non-degree student applies to a regular graduate degree program, and is admitted, no more than twelve hours of graduate credit accumulated while in this non-degree classification may be counted toward the graduate degree.
Graduate non-degree students may not receive university fellowships or graduate associateships.
Interested students must submit an application and all supporting documents to the Admissions Office before eligibility to complete registration for courses. All payment for each course must be made prior to the start of that course. The application may be obtained from the Admissions office.
