Credit toward a degree
Work taken as a non-degree student does not automatically carry graduate degree credit. However, the department chair and dean may approve up to 12 hours of graduate-level credit to count toward a degree, if the following restrictions have been met:

• The non-degree student took graduate-level courses within the time limits prescribed by the individual degree program.
• Each course the non-degree student took carries a grade of "B" or better.
• The non-degree student later qualifies for admission to a graduate degree program.
