Undergraduate Enrollment in Graduate Courses
Undergraduates of high academic standing may enroll in graduate courses under certain conditions. This opportunity is normally reserved for juniors and seniors whose academic achievement makes graduate-level work appropriate. In exceptional circumstances, sophomores and freshmen may have compelling reasons to take a graduate course.
A student wishing to enroll in a graduate course must obtain approval from the instructor in charge of the course and his or her residential college dean, as well as from the student’s departmental representative (juniors and seniors) or the departmental representative for the department offering the course (freshmen and sophomores).
Undergraduates may not enroll in a graduate course on SCORE. After obtaining all of the necessary signatures, undergraduates should bring the graduate course permission form to the Office of the Registrar.
Regulations
Please note that the following regulations apply:
- The course may not substitute for an existing undergraduate course on the same topic.
- The course may not be taken p/d/f even if graduate students are taking the course on that grading basis.
- Undergraduates must submit written, graded work for a graduate course.
- All written work for the course must be completed by dean’s date unless prior permission for an extension is granted by the residential college dean.
