ADMISSION STATUS
SUMMER SEMESTER 2009 ONLY
This admission status is designed for undergraduate
or graduate nondegree students who have never been formally
admitted to UM and will attend only Summer
Semester 2009. This status is limited to students who register
for 6 credits or fewer during Summer Semester only, and is not
intended for those pursuing a UM degree. Students should complete
the Summer
Semester Admission Form and submit
the appropriate nonrefundable application fee. For convenience,
students qualifying for this status are not required to provide
proof of immunization or a Preregistration Immunization Requirements
form. Students must provide this information if they opt to
apply and attend UM in a semester other than Summer 2009. Students
who previously attended UM should follow the readmission procedures
and update their Pre-registration Immunization Requirements
form.
GRADUATE NONDEGREE
Graduate nondegree status allows students, who
have not been formally admitted to a graduate degree program,
to receive graduate credit. Up to nine (9) semester nondegree
graduate credits (or the credits earned during a single semester,
whichever is greater) may be applied toward a subsequent degree
program, with the approval of the student’s program chair
and the Associate Provost for Graduate Education. Acceptance
as a graduate nondegree student does not imply future admission
to a degree program. Graduate nondegree students may take courses
for either graduate or undergraduate credit, as defined by the
university catalog. Graduate credits are assigned automatically
unless a request for undergraduate credit is submitted to the
Graduate School by the fifth day of class for a 10-week session.
Applicants are not eligible for financial aid. Graduate nondegree
students are assessed graduate level tuition and fees at the
master’s level rate. Applicants must have earned a baccalaureate
degree (or higher) from an accredited college or university
prior to enrolling in this status.
GRADUATE DEGREE
Graduate degree admission is for candidates seeking
to complete a master’s or doctoral program at UM. The
academic department to which the student is applying conducts
the initial evaluation of a complete application packet and
submits the packet with a recommendation to the Graduate School
for the final decision regarding admission.
