Graduate Center
Non-Degree Study
Students may apply to take graduate courses without formal admission to the degree program on a space-available basis by filing the Non-Matriculated Application with the SUNYIT Graduate Center.
Generally, a maximum of six credit hours is allowed for non-degree study. In some instances, students may choose to continue taking coursework above the six hour total if permitted, but may not take more than 12 hours before matriculating in their program of study. The maximum number of non-matriculated credits permitted varies from program to program. Permission of the program coordinator is required before non-matriculated students may register.
Graduate coursework taken while in non-degree status may be applicable to the degree program upon formal admission; however, there is no guarantee of credit applicability or admission by completing coursework in non-degree status.
The deadlines for submission of the Non-Matriculated Application are:
Summer coursework – May 15
Fall coursework – August 20
Spring coursework – January 15
A one-time Non-Matriculated Application fee of $25 is charged the first time a non-degree student registers for classes.
Note: Non-degree students are NOT eligible for financial aid and are expected to settle their bill in full by the deadline dates posted each semester.
Please contact the Graduate Center with any questions.
