Special Status

Special Status standing is intended for those students who wish to enroll in graduate level courses but are not seeking a CLU graduate degree or credential. For example, Special Status is available for students who wish to take courses for transfer to another institution.

Students applying for Special Status should meet with an admission counselor and academic adviser and submit the following materials to the Graduate and Adult Programs Office:

  1. application for admission
  2. application fee of $50
  3. transcript verifying bachelor's degree (or higher) with an acceptable GPA

If a person who has been admitted to Special Status later decides to apply for Regular Graduate Standing, all admission requirements as described under regular graduate standing must be met. No more than 12 credits may be taken under Special Status and later applied to the master's degree. Grades lower than "B" cannot be applied to the degree.
