Eligibility
Eligibility for non-degree admission requires at least a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university, or a degree evaluated as the equivalent by UNL Graduate Admissions staff. International students who hold F-1 visas and have never attended UNL are not eligible for non-degree admission.
Express Admission
As a non-degree applicant, you may be eligible for Express Admission, which would allow you to register for classes without waiting for Graduate Studies to receive your transcripts. To request Express Admission, contact Graduate Admissions or simply mark the checkbox when you are completing our online application for admission.
Teacher Certification
Students seeking a non-degree admission for initial teacher certification, renewal of a teacher certification, or additional teaching endorsements should contact the Teachers College Student Services Center at 402-472-8623.
