Information for Students Enrolling in Graduate Courses

Advising

Non-matriculated students may take up to nine (9) graduate credits. All students interested in taking graduate-level coursework are encouraged to seek specific academic advising from the graduate faculty within the program of interest. Certain courses may require departmental permission in order to complete the registration process.

Prior to meeting with a Continuing Education advisor, we recommend that you review the Continuing Education Graduate Online Orientation.

Registration

The registration process begins with the following:

  1. Completion of the Statistical Record for New and Returning Students and submission to the appropriate registration center.
  2. Submission of evidence of completion of an undergraduate degree in the form of a final transcript and/or diploma.

For students interested in applying to a graduate program: Non-matriculated graduate students who plan to apply to a graduate degree program will be advised and registered by the department of interest. Students should refer to the Graduate Bulletin for specific information and contact persons. Students interested in taking business courses at the graduate level should contact the Fox School of Business Graduate Office, 215-204-7678.

For students interested in taking classes for personal/professional development: Non-matriculated graduate students who are interested in taking classes for personal/professional development should complete the registration process through the office of Continuing Education. Non-matriculated graduate students may petition to take coursework in excess of 9 credits for personal or professional enrichment (see the Forms section on the Graduate Bulletin website).
