Undecided Graduate Students
The “Undecided Graduate” (UND-G) classification is for potential graduate students who appear either just prior to or during registration and have not yet fulfilled the application requirements. Under this classification, students are processed immediately, and would be subject to the following:
- Required to pay graduate fees.
- Permitted to enroll in courses only with permission of the instructor and the department offering the courses. Some departments do not allow UND-G students to register in their courses. Students who register without departmental approval may be dis-enrolled.
- Permitted to remain in this classification for only one calendar year.
- Permitted to apply up to 6 semester hours of UND-G credit to the graduate degree requirements after admission by the Graduate School to a degree program.
- Use of UND-G credits will be held to the usual time restrictions for program completion. Please see Graduate School Policies and Procedures Manual for complete information. A separate application for admission is required if the student wishes to pursue an advanced degree.
NOTE: Students who enroll as UND-G have no guarantee that they will be accepted if they apply to a degree program.
