Registration for Non-Degree Students

Not all programs accept non-degree students in their courses, and some courses are open to non-degree students only with permission from the program that offers the course. See the list of restricted courses .

You may obtain a permission form and have it signed by the program. The form must be processed by Campus411 All-in-1. Students who prefer to register on-line can request electronic permission from the program. See the list of programs for contact information for each graduate program.
