ADMISSION STATUS
SUMMER SEMESTER 2008 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 2008. 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 Application 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 2008. Students who previously
attended UM should follow the readmission procedures and update
their Pre-registration Immunization Requirements form.
UNDERGRADUATE NONDEGREE
This status is not intended for those pursuing
a UM degree or for applicants without prior college experience.
Restrictions: Students may earn a maximum of
30 semester credits in this status which may be applied later
to an undergraduate degree; students may not register for graduate
credit; and students are not eligible for financial aid. Students
should complete an application form, certify graduation from
an accredited high school (or passing GED scores) and submit
the nonrefundable $30 application fee or $36 online application
fee. To be considered for nondegree status, a student must have
earned 12 or more college credits.
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE
This status is intended for the pursuit of an undergraduate
degree at UM. Academic eligibility is determined in accordance
with established policy and upon receipt of complete credentials.
Entering freshmen should provide a completed
Application Form, High School Self-Report Form, nonrefundable
$30 application fee or $36 online application fee, final high
school transcript, and ACT or SAT scores (sent to UM from the
testing company). Freshmen who have not graduated from an accredited
high school or who were home-schooled should contact Enrollment
Services - Admissions.

accredited college or university attended. Applicants who have

Post baccalaureate students may take courses
as undergraduate or graduate, but may earn only undergraduate
credit. Students may not earn graduate credit in post baccalaureate
status. Applicants may be eligible for limited financial aid.
Students are assessed tuition and fees equivalent to graduate
nondegree and master's level status.
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
Graduate Dean. 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.
HIGH SCHOOL PILOT PROGRAM
Area high school students may enroll in university classes through
UM's Pilot High School Program. High school students may earn
college credit, receive an early introduction to university
opportunities and develop skills and knowledge beyond the high
school level. For more information, students and their parents
should contact the High School Pilot Program Coordinator, Enrollment
Services - Admissions, Lommasson 103, 406.243.6266. For opportunities
