Undergraduates in Graduate Courses

Frostburg State University undergraduates may take no more than 7 credits in graduate courses for graduate credit prior to completion of the bachelor’s degree requirements. To enroll in a graduate course, you must be a senior with at least a 2.5 grade point average and must have the recommendation of your advisor.

Registration for graduate courses will be completed under the direction of the Registrar’s Office as a separate registration and will not be included in your undergraduate
registration. If you are a full-time undergraduate student taking a graduate course during the academic year, you will not be required to pay tuition for the graduate course since you will pay tuition and fees as a fulltime undergraduate.

Credit earned in a graduate course may be considered only as graduate credit and may not be used as undergraduate credit for the baccalaureate degree. The credit, although
technically graduate credit, may not be used for a graduate degree at Frostburg State University unless it later becomes part of your graduate requirements.

Exceptions to these policies are made only for students who are admitted to a combined baccalaureate-master’s program at Frostburg State University or for programs that have received an exemption to these requirements. See the degree program listings for descriptions of current programs, selection criteria, and exceptions allowed.
