Requests for non-degree registration must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the semester. Non-degree applicants can apply following the steps below.

Registration instructions for non-degree seeking students:

This is a manual process. Complete parts 1, 2, and 4 of the Registration Request for Graduate Credit for non-degree students and email it to C&I at ciinfo@umn.edu. 

• Part 1: student's personal information.
• Part 2: Student completes the following fields in Part 2, information can be found on ScheduleBuilder.
  • Course subject, number, section (ex. CI 5307-001)
  • 5-digit class number: This number is unique to the course, section, and term, and can be found in the upper right of the screen in ScheduleBuilder, in this example it is 15788. 
  • Credits: In most cases, the number of credits is not variable, enter the number of credits for which the course is offered. In this example, the course is three credits.
  • Grade basis (A-F or S/N): Not all courses give the option, so you will want to check. As you can see, this course is offered A-F only, so the student must enter A-F
  • Permission number (if required): Students should check the Requirements section of the course entry of the courses they are interested in. If there are requirements there which they do not meet, then a permission number is required to be able to enroll. This will be the case for nearly all courses for non-degree students. In the example below, instructions are given for how to obtain a permission number. If there are no instructions, the student can contact the instructor of the section of the course.
• Part 4: Sign and email the form to C&I for departmental approval.

• C&I will review the request, and if approved, will forward it to the Office of the Registrar (OTR) for final processing and actual registration.  Allow approximately 7 business days.
