Applying for Graduate Nonmatriculated (GNM) status
If you plan to apply the credits you earn toward a specific graduate degree in the future you must apply for graduate nonmatriculated (GNM) status and register as a GNM student. For GNM application information, contact the graduate coordinator in the appropriate UW department. The deadlines to apply for GNM status are Sept. 1 for Autumn Quarter, Dec. 1 for Winter Quarter, March 1 for Spring Quarter and May 15 for Summer Quarter.

* Some academic departments require that Non-Degree students register after the first day of the quarter at which time a $25 late fee is usually assessed. Contact the appropriate department to determine if there are procedures for waiving the late fee. Waiving the late fee is at the discretion of each department.

** Under exceptional circumstances, a student may petition, in writing, to register after the last date for registration. If approved, a late fee of $75 will be charged.

*** All requests to drop or withdraw from courses must be submitted in writing and must include the student's full name, the course name (department), the number and section, and the quarter of enrollment.
