NON-DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENTS AT THE HUMPHREY INSTITUTE

If you are NOT a student at the University of Minnesota but would like to take a class at the undergraduate or graduate level, you may register as a non-degree-seeking (NDS) student at either the graduate or the undergraduate level. 

After you are registered, the University will mail you an enrollment summary, non-degree information sheet, and a cancel/add/refund schedule. Non-degree graduate students also receive a confirmation e-mail when they are registered that is sent to the e-mail address noted on their Request for Graduate Credit form. It emphasizes the importance of initiating your U of M internet account as soon as possible and informs you that all future correspondence will only be sent to your U of M e-mail address.

Payment is due in full by the first billing due date.

Graduate non-degree-seeking students

Note: You must already have a bachelor's degree to apply for graduate credit.

Students who want to enroll in a course at the University of Minnesota and want to apply the credits to a graduate program must take the course for graduate credit.

  • Go to http://onestop.umn.edu/non-degree/registration/pro_development/steps.html
  • Download and complete the Registration Request for Graduate Credit form.
  • Class, course, and section numbers are available at the "Class Schedule" (also in One Stop's Quick Links.) Choose the semester and designator (i.e., PA) you are interested in.)
    • The class number is the 5-digit number to the left of the course entry in the class schedule.
    • Indicate the grade option (i.e., A/F or S/N).
    • Fill in the course and section number (i.e., PA 5490, section 2).
    • Check the prerequisites for the class; you will need to contact the instructor for a class permission number, which will allow you to register, if you do not meet the prerequisites.
  • Fax the completed form to Stacey Grimes at (612) 625-6351.

Contact Stacey at (612) 626-1329 or grime004@umn.edu if you have questions or problems. 

During 2008-2009, graduate non-degree-seeking students at the Humphrey Institute will be charged resident tuition of $873.00 per credit. There is also a University fee of $55.00 per credit for 1-9 credits, and a flat rate of $550.00 for students taking 10 or more credits. (If you previously applied to or attended the U of M as an undergraduate or graduate student and were classified as a nonresident or reciprocity state resident, you may be charged non-resident tuition. If you would like to verify your residency status, please contact Kay Anderson at 612-625-6330.)

In addition, there may be minor student services fees.

Students wishing to apply classes taken in this manner to a degree program should check with that program on its rules regarding classes taken as a non-admitted student. (For example, at the Humphrey Institute, 60% of the degree program coursework must be taken while the student is enrolled as an admitted Humphrey Institute student.)

Undergraduate non-degree-seeking students

Students who want to enroll in a course at the University of Minnesota but do not anticipate applying the credits to a graduate program will probably want to register at the undergraduate level.

  • To register, go to http://www.onestop.umn.edu/registration/email_forms.html
  • Complete the form. (Class, course, and section numbers are available at the Class Schedule in the Quick Links of One Stop. Choose the semester and designator (i.e., PA) you are interested in.)
    • The class number is the 5-digit number to the left of the course entry in the class schedule.
    • Indicate the grade option (i.e., A/F or S/N).
    • Fill in the course and section number (i.e., PA 5490, section 2).
    • Check the prerequisites for the class; you will need to contact the instructor for a class permission number, which will allow you to register even if you do not meet the prerequisites.
  • E-mail it in following the instructions. Or fax the completed form to the One Stop Office at (612) 626-0008.

Contact Stacey at (612) 626-1329 or grime004@umn.edu if you have questions or problems.
