Nondegree graduate study is available at the discretion of each of the graduate programs. Enrollment is on a part-time, nonmatriculated basis. For information on which programs offer nondegree study, contact the admissions office.

To apply for nondegree admission, submit the application found at http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu. Students registered for nondegree study at the Graduate School–Newark are allowed to take up to 6 credits under the nondegree program.* Once this nondegree credit limit is reached, students are encouraged to apply to the regular, degree seeking program. Students who successfully complete courses under the nondegree program may receive as many as 6 graduate degree credits. To exercise this option, students must seek the credit within five years of taking the courses. In addition, they must apply and gain admission to a graduate degree program appropriate to the courses completed. Students must maintain a B average or better in their coursework.
