This allows visiting students to take classes for professional development and/or exploratory pursuits in a graduate program. Students who plan to take more than three graduate courses must apply for admission before reaching the 9-credit threshold. Students will not be able to register for courses beyond the 9-credit threshold.

Interested students must submit a visiting student application to the Office of Graduate Enrollment.
