All graduate programs, except physical therapy, permit a limited number of nondegree (nonmatriculated) students to enroll in courses each term. Eligibility for nondegree graduate study requires an earned baccalaureate degree. A maximum of 12 credits taken as a nondegree student may be applied toward degree requirements.

Applications for nondegree admission are available online at http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu, or from the Office of Graduate and Undergraduate Admissions.

Questions regarding enrollment of nondegree students in social work courses should be directed to the School of Social Work (856/225-6346). Questions concerning enrollment of nondegree students for all other programs should be directed to the Office of Graduate and Undergraduate Admissions.

Applicants who are accepted as nondegree students are permitted to register for the particular course(s) approved by the appropriate graduate program director. Nonmatriculated enrollment in any graduate course neither predisposes nor guarantees subsequent formal admission.
