I want 18 graduate hours in a subject, but don’t want a degree. Can I take more than 9 graduate hours as a non-degree-seeking student; that is, without being accepted into a program?
Typically, non-degree seeking students may only complete a maximum of 9 hrs of graduate-level work unless they have special permission from the Office of Graduate Studies. No more than 9 hours earned as a non-degree seeking student may transfer to a master’s or graduate certificate program, so non-degree seeking status should not be used by students whose real goal is to enter a master’s or certificate program.
