Education Graduate Non-Degree Student Status

Students with an undergraduate degree may be permitted to take up to 15 credit hours of Education graduate coursework as a special graduate non-degree student. Not all courses are available to non-degree students. Eligibility to enroll in a particular course may depend on available space, completion of prerequisites, and/or an instructor’s permission. Non-degree students may choose to apply to a graduate degree, certificate, or licensure program after taking one or more courses as a non-degree student. If the student is admitted, coursework completed under special non-degree status may, in some cases, count toward the graduate program. Transfer of credits earned while under special graduate non-degree students status is not guaranteed and is subject to approval by both the Department Chair or Program Coordinator and the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.

For more information regarding Education Graduate Non-Degree status, please contact the Coordinator of Distance Education and Professional Development in the School of Education Office of Graduate Studies at 812-856-8548 or deregstr@indiana.edu.

Auditing

Some Education courses are available for auditing. Classes taken as audits are not counted as completed academic credit, but they will be reflected on your grade report and on your transcript as “NC” (no credit). Audit classes are excluded from consideration for official IU certification purposes.

If you are not taking any classes for credit, you can register as an audit-only student on or after the first day of classes. You willll need to get a Memorandum for Course Audit signed by each course department and return it to Student Central on Union.

For an estimate of tuition expenses for audit-only enrollment, see the Office of the Bursar's Tuition Estimator. Under the Level dropdown, be sure to select "Auditing (no credit)".

Temporary Intercampus Transfer

Students admitted to a program on one campus of Indiana University may be permitted to take courses on other IU campuses through a Temporary Intercampus Transfer. To take courses on another campus for one semester or a summer session, students should contact the graduate studies/student services office for the School of Education on the campus where they have already been admitted to a graduate program.

Switching Campuses (Permanent Transfer)

Students admitted to a graduate degree or licensure program that is offered on more than one campus may request to permanently transfer to a different campus. Transfer requests will be treated as new applications for admission. Students wishing to switch campuses must submit a new application form; however, some supplemental materials submitted with the initial application may be transferred to the new campus. Specific admissions policies and procedures vary by campus. For details about transfer application procedures, students should contact the graduate admissions office of the School of Education on the campus they wish to transfer to.
