The non-degree graduate admission status is a special status that is not available to international students or students who have a suspension status at UW or any other college or university.
Non-degree students CANNOT receive financial aid or UW scholarships.
Step 1: Apply for Admission and pay application fee
Prospective graduate students may elect to enroll in UW graduate courses as a "non-degree"
student. Under this admission status, graduate students may only apply 12 credit hours
taken as "non-degree" toward a graduate degree pending approval by the student's graduate
committee (assigned after student is admitted in to a graduate program). Graduate
students applying as non-degree are encouraged to discuss courses with their anticipated
graduate program to avoid problems if/when they are formally admitted to that program.
Step 2: Provide Proof of Bachelor's Degree
Send official transcripts to:
UW Admissions Office

Laramie, WY 82071
Step 3: Complete your Next Step to Register for Class
Complete your next steps. Advising is not required to register, however, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you
discuss courses with your anticipated graduate program in advance. Not all coursework
will be applied toward a graduate degree.
If you have any questions about whether or not applying as a non-degree student is right for you, please contact the UW Admissions Office.
