Non-Degree Seeking Students

Non-Degree seeking students who wish to take graduate level courses and are not initially seeking admission into a graduate program at the University of Central Oklahoma.  To be admitted as a non-degree seeking graduate student at UCO, undergraduate transcripts must show a minimum 2.50 overall GPA or 2.75 in the last 60 hours of course work.  Taking courses as a non-degree student does not constitute admission to a program or guarantee later applicability of these courses toward a program. If non-degree students later achieve admission to a graduate degree program, courses taken while under a “non-degree” status will be evaluated by the graduate program advisor to determine their applicability to the degree. A maximum of ten graduate hours taken as a non-degree student may be applied toward a master’s degree.
