Non-Degree Students

A non-degree student is one who has not applied to pursue a degree program at Mines but wishes to take courses regularly offered on campus. Non-degree students register for courses through the Registrar’s Office after degree-seeking students have registered. Such students may take any course for which they have the prerequisites as listed in the Mines Catalog or have the permission of the instructor. Transcripts or evidence of the prerequisites are required. Non-degree students pay all applicable tuition and student fees. Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid.

Courses completed while the student is a non-degree graduate student count toward the overall graduate-level grade-point average on the Mines transcript.
