Changing from Non-degree to Degree Status

A student who wishes to change from non-degree status to a degree or certificate program must apply for admission through the Graduate School.  The student must submit any additional documents required of the specific program of interest and have his or her file reviewed by the program director. Admission as a non-degree student does not guarantee admission to a degree program. A maximum of 12 credits taken by a non-degree student may apply to a degree or certificate program once they have been approved for admission. Hood students registered for a 4Plus or microcredential program may apply more than 12 credits to an approved graduate degree.
