Student Statuses for Registration

To enroll in any graduate course, you must have earned a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution or be within nine credits of earning a baccalaureate degree at UW Oshkosh. Before you enroll, determine your current graduate status described below.

If you are an admitted student to a master's degree, certificate or GAP program, you may register but should consult with your adviser.

If you are a non-degree seeking student, you may register for any course that does not have a prerequisite or is available to nondegree-seeking students. Note: There is a 12-credit limit on courses taken as a special student that may apply to a UW Oshkosh graduate degree.

If you are a guest student (degree-seeking student from another university):

1. Consult the program coordinator at your home institution to determine which UW Oshkosh courses are acceptable.

2. Complete a graduate registration form.

3. Obtain approval from the UW Oshkosh graduate program coordinator in the department in which you wish to enroll.

4. Submit the registration form to the Office of Graduate Studies (Dempsey 337).

If you are a re-entry student (previously attended UW Oshkosh as any type of graduate student but have not taken a class for more than two years), contact either your graduate program coordinator or the Office of Graduate Studies to determine the requirements to be activated to enroll in classes.

If you are a post-master's student, you may register for most courses without prerequisites. Call the Office of Graduate Studies before registering to update your record and verify your eligibility for enrollment.

If you are a final term senior at UW Oshkosh, you may enroll in a maximum of three graduate credits after you have supplied a letter from the undergraduate student status examiner stating you are within nine credits of graduation and meet all other admission requirements for full standing to the intended graduate degree program. Graduate Studies approval is required to enroll in any graduate course and other restrictions apply.

Registration Procedures

Graduate students may begin registering the first day enrollment starts. View the registration calendar for dates and other information. Registration appointments are not needed for graduate students.

Courses with a catalog number of 5XX-699 are graduate level. Often these courses will have a related undergraduate equivalent (3XX-499) in which undergraduate students may enroll. Courses with 7XX-799 catalog numbers are for graduate students only.
