NON-DEGREE STUDENTS

There are several categories of Non-Degree Seeking Students at UNK. Non-degree courses can be taken for enrichment or to meet pre-acceptance requirements for entry into a graduate degree program. Up to 12 credit hours can be transferred to a degree granting program from non-degree seeking coursework. Students admitted for the first time thru the Graduate Office at UNK or who have not taken courses as a graduate-level student within the last two years, are required to pay an application fee.
