Permission for undergraduates to
register for graduate course
Undergraduates may request to enroll in graduate courses that are well suited to their programs of study.
This opportunity is available to seniors whose academic achievement makes graduate-level work
appropriate. This policy applies to graduate courses with course numbers of 4000 and above. Some
3000-level courses are approved for either undergraduate or graduate credit. Undergraduate courses
may not be taken for graduate credit.
Graduate courses for undergraduate credit.
Students must be classified as a senior and have an overall cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. The student
must obtain approval of the course instructor; chair or program director of the graduate program; Office of
Graduate Studies; and the student's major advisor. Graduate courses taken for undergraduate credit may
not be subsequently used to satisfy graduate requirements unless the student is in an approved dual
undergraduate/graduate degree program.
