Individuals who are interested in earning graduate credit, but
who are not applicants for a graduate degree at the University of Alabama, may be
admitted for nondegree studies with the approval of the department or program
in which the course is offered. Applicants holding bachelor degrees from regionally
accredited institutions or who are graduate students in good standing at another
graduate school are eligible to apply. The list below contains some suggestions and
other information about applying to our Graduate School.
- The graduate degree programs of the University of Alabama
are described in the Graduate Catalog.
Not all programs will allow nondegree admission. Before completing a nondegree
application, please contact the
Program Director for the
area in which you wish to take a course to determine if the department allows
nondegree students.
- Please review the academic policies regarding nondegree admission
before completing an application.
- A maximum of 12 semester hours of graduate work may be taken as a nondegree student and
applied to the credit-hour requirements for a degree if the student is later admitted to a
degree program. Individuals enrolled as nondegree students cannot register for more than
12 hours without providing written verification to the Graduate School that they do not plan
to pursue graduate degrees at the University. No more than 12 semester hours of this nondegree
coursework can be evaluated for degree credit.
- Application of any nondegree credit toward an advanced degree will be contingent upon
an evaluation made after the student has been admitted to the Graduate School to pursue a degree
program.
- Responsibility rests with the student to observe the limitations imposed on credit hours, coursework
and transfer of credit.
- Students who have had an application to a degree program formally rejected are not
eligible for nondegree status.
