500-Level Registration Form

All undergraduate students (students who have not yet graduated from their BS program) must submit this form for approval to enroll in any 500-level (or above) graduate-designated course. If approved, students will be administratively registered for the requested course (given course availability).

Use this form to indicate whether the requested course should apply toward your BS degree only, be a double-counted course (as part of the Combined/4+1 program), or toward your Graduate degree only. Note that registration changes to any 500-level course must be made by the add/drop date of the term in which the course is taken--no exceptions.

Students may count ONLY six 500-level credits toward their BS degree (which may be double-counted between BS degree and Graduate Degree for Combined students). Any additional 500-level courses must appear on the graduate transcript only.

DISCLAIMER:

Courses taken for toward the BS degree will appear only on the undergraduate transcript. For combined/4+1 students, courses in this category may also be double-counted to a graduate degree if approved by the graduate department and a final grade of B- or better is earned. Credits on the undergraduate transcript will apply towards your undergraduate enrollment standing and are eligible for undergraduate financial aid.

Courses taken only for the MS or PhD will appear on the graduate transcript and be calculated only in the graduate GPA. Courses on the graduate transcript cannot be applied to the undergraduate degree or undergraduate enrollment standing--and financial aid restrictions will apply. If you will be taking courses for graduate-only credit, plan to consult with the Financial Aid office if receiving aid of any kind.

Intended Usage for Course:(Required)
