Admission as a Non-Degree-Seeking Graduate Student
A student wishing to take graduate level coursework without becoming a candidate for a graduate degree may apply for admission as a non-degree-seeking graduate student. The applicant must satisfy the general admission requirements as noted here but is not required to submit GRE or GMAT scores or letters of recommendation.Enrollment as a non-degree-seeking graduate student is subject to annual review and approval by the Dean of Graduate Studies. Students admitted as non-degree-seeking or to take only undergraduate level courses may not be eligible for financial aid. Applicants should consult the UTD Financial Aid Office prior to submitting their application for admission.
A non-degree-seeking graduate student in good academic standing who wishes to apply for admission to a degree program must submit a new application. No more than 15 semester credit hours taken as a non-degree-seeking student at UT Dallas may be transferred to satisfy the coursework requirements of a graduate degree program, except with the permission of the Dean of Graduate Studies. A student not officially enrolled in a degree program requires the consent of the Degree Program Office to enroll in graduate classes offered by that degree program.
NOTE: A student in the United States on an F1 or J1 visa may only be admitted to a degree program and is not eligible for non-degree-seeking student status.
