Interested in taking just one class? Some courses in this program (those courses designated by a ) are open for single-course enrollment to those who do not wish to earn the certificate. Because some courses require prior knowledge and experience in the field, those interested in taking individual courses need to submit these materials:

• A completed application for single-course enrollment;
• A résumé listing your work-related experience and a typed (250-word maximum) letter of application describing your experience/knowledge and how it was acquired.
• One set of transcripts from all relevant institutions (unofficial transcripts are acceptable).
• Please note that courses taken under single-course enrollment cannot be applied toward a degree unless they are also taken with graduate non-matriculated status (see below).
• Single-course enrollments are on a space-available basis for students meeting the prerequisites. Space in online and in-person sections is determined separately.

Graduate nonmatriculated (GNM) is a student status at the University designed to provide access to graduate courses for qualified post-baccalaureate individuals who are not currently seeking a graduate degree, but who may later want to apply these credits toward a degree.

Applicants to the GNM status must contact the academic department directly for application information. Departments will provide instructions and departmental requirements to appropriate candidates. Once this is completed, you can apply here.

The deadline dates for submitting applications to the Graduate Admissions Office are:

Autumn Quarter: September 1
Winter Quarter: December 1
Spring Quarter: March 1
Summer Quarter: May 15
