Non-Degree Student Information

Who Can Enroll

Attorneys and other professionals who hold a bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university may enroll as non-degree students.

Courses

You may take upper-level elective courses (numbered 600 or above) on a non-degree basis, subject to space availability and instructor approval.

Tuition & Fees

Non-degree students pay full tuition and fees at the current law school rates.

Important Limitations

CREDITS CANNOT BE APPLIED TO A J.D.

Courses taken as a non-degree student may not be applied toward a J.D. degree at the Boyd School of Law if you enroll in the future.

You will not take examinations or receive a grade in the course. Non-degree status is for professional enrichment only and does not result in academic credit toward a degree.
