Earn Graduate Credit as an Undergraduate

You must have earned at least 90 credits and a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA to be approved to the program. Participating students must also maintain the minimum graduate GPA criteria in order to participate each semester.

Because your success is of paramount importance to us, we want to be sure that you understand the expectations for graduate school as you begin this journey. Graduate classes are more rigorous than what you may have experienced as an undergrad; there will be much more reading, writing, and yes, even research. Please see SUU's online catalog for the passing grade requirement for your program.

We view our graduate students as participants in producing knowledge, not merely consumers of information. Graduate students are expected to engage fully in class discussions, attend classes, and/or actively contribute to online forums. We also expect our graduate students to be resourceful, self-motivated, and deadline-oriented.

1. To register for graduate courses each semester, you must make an appointment with the graduate advisor.
2. Registration dates apply to both your undergraduate and graduate courses and the credits allowed can be spread across multiple semesters including summer.
3. You must maintain a 3.0 minimum cumulative GPA in order to participate in the Senior Benefit Program.
4. A total maximum of 18 credits is allowed per semester while participating in Senior Benefit courses.
5. Courses will not be cross-posted within the graduate program you apply to.

To take advantage of your hard-earned graduate credits, be sure to submit an SUU graduate application and supporting documents. Please note: Participation in Senior Benefit does not mean that you are automatically admitted into a graduate program. You must meet the standards and qualifications for the program you have applied to.
