Registration in Graduate Courses for Undergraduate Credit
All undergraduate students who wish to take a graduate course for undergraduate credit should see their department for the appropriate petition and procedures.
Permission to take graduate courses for undergraduate credit must be obtained by the end of the first week of classes for the respective semester or summer session. The credit level will be changed to undergraduate after the course is graded. Prerequisites are:
- Junior or senior standing and acceptance into an academic major or approved special major;
- A minimum GPA of 3.0 overall, including transfer credit and completion of prerequisites required for the graduate course; and
- Written recommendation from the course instructor to clearly show the academic necessity and rationale for taking the course, and the endorsement of the department chair.
Note: Freshmen and sophomores are not eligible to register for graduate courses. Undergraduates who register in graduate courses without having obtained prior permission cannot receive undergraduate academic credit for such courses
