Non-Degree Status Students
If you are a graduate with a bachelor's or another postsecondary degree who is not admitted to, or currently active in a University of Minnesota degree program, you cannot register for class(s) through online Web registration. Instead, please follow these registration guidelines:
- To earn graduate credit that appears on a graduate level transcript and/or to explore degree programs through preliminary course work before being admitted to a degree program, register with One Stop Student Services.
Course Permissions
Who do I contact to sign the Registration Request for Graduate Credit PDF form? Contact the department or One Stop Student Services for the name and contact information of the department's director of graduate studies or his/her designee. The instructor of the course is not the authorized signer unless s/he is also the director or the designee.
Applying Courses to a Degree Program
You are strongly encouraged to consult with a program adviser before registering for any course you might want to use towards a degree in the future. Programs can limit the number and type of credits they accept before admission.
