Undergraduate courses may be taken for graduate credit while a student is matriculated in the program. They are generally taken when no comparable graduate courses are available within the Rutgers University system. In general, no more than 6 credits of undergraduate course work taken while the student is in the graduate program may be applied to the graduate degree. Undergraduate courses to be taken for graduate credit must be reviewed and approved by the program director before the course is taken. A form is available from the Office of Student and Academic Services. When registering, the student must insert a G prefix before the course number in order to receive graduate credit. Students who have taken an undergraduate course without the G prefix will find that the transcript indicates that the course does not count toward their graduate degree.
