Apply to be a Non-Degree Student
If you're not seeking a degree and just want to take a class or two at UND, apply as a non-degree-seeking student.
Non-Degree Credits Allowed
As a non-degree-seeking undergraduate student, you can complete up to 24 undergraduate credits before you must be fully admitted to UND.
As a non-degree seeking graduate student, you may complete an unlimited number of graduate credits, but only a maximum of 9 graduate credits may be transferred to a degree program. Not all courses allow non-degree enrollment, so you should contact the department before applying to ensure you will be able to enroll in courses.
