  - Non-Degree Admission
    - If you wish to elect graduate courses to increase your knowledge, improve your professional skills, or to test your capabilities in a graduate setting, but do not wish to pursue a degree, you may apply for admission as a Non-Candidate for Degree (NCFD). Admission requirements are the same as for regular admission. NCFD status carries no implication with respect to subsequent regular admission to any graduate program.
