Application Categories
You may apply for admission to the Graduate School as a
master's or a doctoral degree-seeking student or as a non-degree
student.
Degree-Seeking Students
First-Time, Reactivation, and Readmission Applicants:
All prospective students -- whether applying for the first time, reactivating a previous application, or requesting readmission to a program to which they had previously been accepted -- must use the online application.
Degree Seeking Student Application Resources:
Non-Degree Students
Non-degree applicants must apply online, submit a personal statement detailing
graduate plans and. expectations, submit two official transcripts
from each postsecondary institution attended, and submit the
application fee.
Departmental Non-Degree:
A departmental non-degree student is one who has been
admitted to a department but does not seek an advanced degree
from the University.
An applicant with degree intent who lacks one or more admission
requirements may be admitted temporarily to non-degree status
at the discretion of the department and with the approval
of the associate dean for graduate admissions. The student
may register for one to 12 credit hours in any graduate
courses for which he or she meets the course prerequisites.
The department may require letters of recommendation or
other supporting material.
Unclassified:
An unclassified student is one who is admitted to the
Graduate School in a non-degree status, but who is not a
member of a particular department.
Such a student may take courses in any graduate department,
subject to approval by the department.
Visiting:
A visiting student is normally a degree student in another
university who enrolls at Notre Dame.
Auditing:
An auditing student is a non-degree student who meets
prerequisites for the course(s) he or she wishes to audit
without receiving academic credit.
Audited courses may be recorded on a student’s permanent
record only if the student requests the instructor to record
it at the beginning of the semester and if he or she attends
the course throughout the entire semester. A recorded audit
is graded V. Incomplete audits are not recorded. The audit
grade of V cannot be changed to a credit grade.
Non-Degree Student Resources:
Notre Dame employees seeking non-degree status do not submit
applications. Consult the Department of Human Resources
for registration and enrollment information.
