Admission
Non-Degree Students
Undergraduate Non-Degree Program
Students who hold a bachelor's degree from IUPUI or another university may register at IUPUI as Undergraduate Non-Degree students. This enrollment status is desirable for students who need to take a small number of undergraduate courses in order to apply for medical school or other professional programs in, for example, dentistry, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, and veterinary medicine. Students enrolled as undergraduate non-degree pay undergraduate tuition and fees, but may only register for undergraduate courses.
Undergraduate non-degree students who enroll in graduate courses may be administratively withdrawn from these courses and may forfeit tuition and associated fees. Undergraduate non-degree students may seek academic advising through the School of Science. Students enrolled as undergraduate non-degree are eligible for Stafford loans only, provided they have not used up their undergraduate financial aid eligibility. They may also seek loans or support through banks or other financial institutions. Students enrolled as undergraduate non-degree are not eligible for other forms of financial aid through IUPUI.
Graduate Non-Degree Program
Students normally use the graduate non-degree classification whose intent is to take course work for personal improvement. A student who wishes to become a candidate for an advanced degree should consult with the chosen major department at the time of application for admission as a graduate non-degree student. The major department will advise applicants of the procedure for obtaining status as a degree-seeking student. An application to become a graduate non-degree student is obtained through the IUPUI Graduate Office at the following Web site: http://www.iupui.edu/~gradoff/gnd/. Additional information can be obtained at the IUPUI Graduate Office, University Library, Room UL 1170, 755 W. Michigan Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202; telephone (317) 274-1577.
No more than 12 hours of credit earned under this classification may be used on a plan of study for a Purdue University degree program without approval of the major department and the Purdue University Graduate School. Similarly, no more than 9 hours of credit earned under this classification may be used in a plan of study for an Indiana University degree program without approval of the major department.
