All undergraduate students who wish to take graduate courses for undergraduate credit should contact the academic department directly for approval procedures.

Permission to take graduate courses for undergraduate credit must be obtained by the end of the drop/add period for the respective semester or summer session. The credit level will be changed to undergraduate after the course is graded.

Eligibility Criteria:

• 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 that clearly states the academic necessity and rationale for taking the course, and the endorsement of the department chair.

Note: Undergraduates who register in graduate courses without having obtained prior permission cannot receive undergraduate credit for such courses.
