Taking Courses Prior to Admission

If you want to take graduate courses before you apply for admission or while you are awaiting an admission decision, you may do so by using the First-Time Self-Service for Non-Degree Students.

Please note that utilizing this system does not constitute admission to a program. If you plan to become a matriculated student, you must apply for admission before your third course, as only nine credits taken before matriculation may be counted toward your degree.  Our program does not offer waivers to students who take more than three courses prior to matriculation.
