Non-Degree Status
Casual course takers with an earned bachelor's degree may elect to take one or two courses without applying to a degree or certificate program. This is considered non-degree status. Students not yet admitted to a certificate program must be admitted before completion of their second course in order for those courses to count toward the certificate program. Students not yet admitted to a degree program may take a maximum of four courses and receive letter grades in most departments. For specific departmental requirements please check individual department websites. Once these maximums are reached, additional course registrations will be changed to pass/fail and may not be used for degree credit. Registration for graduate courses as a non-degree student does not guarantee admission to a WPI Graduate program.
