Graduate courses are numbered at the 500, 600 and 700 levels. A graduate student may be permitted to register for any course which appears in the published Schedule of Classes; however, only those courses taken at the 500, 600 and 700 levels may be counted for graduate credit. Graduate credit will not be given for a course numbered at the 400 level or below. A course taken at the 400 level may not be taken later at the 500 level without special permission from the departmental chairperson, college dean, and the Dean of the Graduate School.

Graduate courses may be taken for undergraduate credit when prior approval is obtained. When undergraduate credit is received, it will not later be converted to graduate credit. Unclassified students will not receive graduate credit for graduate courses.

Seniors who wish to take graduate courses (course level number 500 - 700) either for undergraduate or graduate credit must obtain approval in the Graduate School Office prior to registration. Take written approval to the Registration Center for processing. Students below the senior level are not permitted to take graduate courses.
