The Non-Degree Study Program allows individuals who have not been formally accepted into degree-seeking status at UConn to take undergraduate or graduate level credit courses.

All the information you need to enroll as a non-degree student at any UConn campus is available here. You can select classes, find information on how to register, learn more about University policies and services, and submit your registration application online.  

To guide you through the registration process, visit the Information Index for complete details on dates, courses, registration, academic information, and student services along with all the necessary forms.

Classes are offered day, evening and weekends at our six campuses and online.

Registration as a non-degree student is on a space-available basis. If you have questions, contact a Center for Continuing Studies Non-Degree academic advisor for assistance.

Credits earned from UConn courses are transferable to most other institutions. Credits earned may also be used toward acceptance into specific UConn degree programs, with some restrictions.

Requirements

• In most cases, a bachelor’s degree is required to enroll in graduate courses.
• In certain cases, non-degree students need special permission to register.
• A dismissed UConn undergraduate degree student wishing to take courses as a non-degree student must obtain special permission to register.
