As a temporary graduate student, you may enroll in courses without being admitted into a degree or certificate program at UW-River Falls.

In your application, indicate that your reason for applying is to take courses for personal or professional enrichment. If you decide to purse a degree or certificate in the future, you鈥檒l need to notify us in writing and meet any additional admission requirements, including application fees.
If you are a returning graduate student, you must submit a re-entry application. If you are changing your program of study or you鈥檙e now interested in pursuing a degree or certificate, please contact Graduate Admissions at graduateadmissions@uwrf.edu.

Due to the unique nature of program coursework, some of our graduate programs will not accept any transferred credits. For others, you are limited to transferring nine graduate credits. These credits must be approved by your adviser and the Director of Graduate Studies. Check with the program coordinator for specific information on transferring graduate credits.
To accept transfer credits, we must receive an official transcript from the institution listing the course taken. Transferring credits will not affect your probationary status. Distance-learning credits are eligible for transfer only if the course is accepted for a graduate degree program at the institution giving the credit.
