Applicants may seek admission to the University of Illinois as a graduate non-degree student with or without a specific graduate department assigned. A bachelor’s degree is required for all graduate non-degree applicants. For general non-degree graduate students (those without a specific department assigned), applications are accepted for fall, spring, and summer terms. Graduate departments may set additional requirements and also determine deadlines and term availability for department-specific non-degree applicants.

Note: International exchange non-degree students must follow the application and admissions policies of degree-seeking applicants.
