Non-matriculated Status for the M.S. in Nursing

Students whose admission process is incomplete but are earning credits for the specific prerequisite or required graduate courses for the degree; or students who wish to take graduate courses without pursuing a degree. Such students must have the permission of the Associate Dean of the Graduate Program. Should a non-matriculated student decide to work toward a degree, he or she must follow the regular admissions process. Non-matriculated students should be aware that no more than six (6) credits completed as a non-matriculated student may be used to fulfill requirements for a degree, and that non-matriculated status can be maintained for a maximum period of two years.
