New Graduate student (degree-seeking)

Graduate Non-Degree-seeking student

A Graduate Non-Degree student is defined as a student who has earned a 4-year degree and who wishes to enroll in graduate or undergraduate-level courses without pursuing another degree. There is no application fee. The student is not limited to the number of credit hours taken at BGSU; however, only 9 graduate credit hours will transfer to a graduate degree program.

If a student enrolls in graduate-level classes (500 or above), graduate fees will be assessed. Enrollment in undergraduate-level classes (499 and below) will be assessed undergraduate fees. Graduate fees will be assessed if a student takes 11 or more undergraduate credit hours under this classification.
