Student-at-Large Online Application

Classification- Graduate application or Student-at-Large application?

Students may be admitted to graduate-level study in either of two classifications:

A Graduate student is a student who has applied to and been admitted to the Graduate School, upon recommendation of the program faculty, to pursue a specific graduate program (see Fields of Study)  [Download graduate application]

A Student-at-Large is a student who has applied for and been given permission by the Graduate School to enroll in courses for graduate credit, but who is not at the time admitted to the Graduate School to pursue a graduate degree. [Download student-at-large application]

Application for Study As a Student-at-Large

Submission of the completed student-at-large application form does not require an application fee and is not constrained by the application deadline dates indicated above for application for admission to the Graduate School. However, a student must either have permission to enroll as a student-at-large or be admitted to the Graduate School in order to take courses for graduate credit.

Credit accumulated as a student-at-large will not necessarily be counted toward a graduate degree, if the student is later admitted to the Graduate School (consult the Graduate Catalog). International students on F-1 or on J-1 student visa status are not eligible to be students-at-large. A student-at-large who intends to pursue a graduate degree should apply for admission to the Graduate School as soon as possible.
