Applying As A Non-Degree Seeking Student
Admission to the “non-degree” category is limited primarily to those who may benefit professionally from additional study at the graduate level. Students working towards a teaching certificate or recertification or an add-on certificate to augment professional credentials would be non-degree students. As a non-degree student, you must receive permission from the program coordinator or the department chair of your program before you enroll in any graduate course.
Supporting Material
In general, the only supporting material you’ll need for non-degree admission is a transcript showing an appropriate background and confirming the awarding of a bachelor’s degree or higher. Please confirm you have the appropriate materials with the department you’re applying to. In most cases, international students are not eligible for non-degree status.
If you’re interested in taking undergraduate courses as a non-degree seeking student, please use the non-degree checklist below to make sure you submit the appropriate application.
Returning Non-Degree Students
If you’ve been enrolled previously at Clemson any time in the past six years as a non-degree student and you wish to return and continue in this status, then you DO NOT need to complete the online application. Instead, please complete the Graduate Request for Re-Entrance form.
