What is the policy on undergraduates enrolling in graduate-level courses to make progress in their undergraduate program?
Not all programs allow undergraduate students to enroll in graduate courses. If allowed by the program, undergraduate students not enrolled in an approved accelerated degree program may take up to three courses totaling no more than 9 credits at the graduate level.
To be eligible, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and a minimum of 60 credit hours.
Permission of the instructor and the student’s advisor is required for an undergraduate to register for a graduate-level course.
No more than 6 credits of graduate coursework may be taken in any one semester.
Students seeking to take graduate courses to meet undergraduate degree requirements should coordinate with financial aid to ensure eligibility requirements. Undergraduate Federal/State financial aid programs (Pell Grant, Maine State Grant, Subsidized Direct Student Loan, Unsubsidized Direct Student Loan, etc.) have specific enrollment requirements that should be considered on a student-by-student basis.
