Steps to Admission

Non-Degree Visiting Students

Eligibility

Eligibility for non-degree visiting admission requires applicants to be BOTH:
  1. actively pursuing a graduate degree at an academic institution outside the University of Nebraska
  2. in good standing at that home institution

University of Nebraska students at Omaha, Kearney, and Medical Center campuses should follow intercampus steps instead.

Non-degree visiting admission enables students to take a few classes at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln while continuing to be a degree-seeking student at their home institution. For example, an MS student at a university in Kansas may want to take one semester of courses at UNL and then finish the MS in Kansas.

This type of admission is limited to two academic terms.

  1. Submission of Application and Materials
    Submit the following to the Office of Graduate Studies:
  2. Graduate Studies Review

    When the online application, $45 application fee, and letter verifying good standing have been received, your file will be reviewed by an admissions evaluator. You will be contacted if additional information is needed by Graduate Studies.

    Once all materials have been received, allow 3 to 5 business days for this step.
  3. Admission

    You will be notified by email and mailed your Certificate of Admission along with other important information for incoming students.

    Consult the Graduate Bulletin for course descriptions and the Schedule of Classes for course times and locations. Register for classes through What About Me (WAM).
