Special Students Information

Up to six credit hours earned as a special student may be applied to a graduate degree from The U at the discretion of the academic department.  Enrollment in a course does not guarantee acceptance into the program.  Please note: Non-degree pursuant students are not eligible for federal financial aid.

Enrolling as a Special Student is easy.  Simply complete the Online Registration Form.
