To receive graduate credit for an undergraduate course, follow these steps:

• Follow same steps as you would for GLBL courses.
• Complete the Jackson course change form and elect “request graduate credit” after registration closes but before midterm.
• If the course offers discussion sections, please check with the Jackson registrar regarding adding discussion sections to your schedule.
• Limit the number of undergraduate courses (numbered 499 and below) to one per term.

IMPORTANT: Language courses do not require a petition for graduate credit.

If you have interests that cannot be addressed through regular graduate-level courses, you may arrange a directed reading or independent project with a faculty member or Senior Fellow for graduate credit. Usually limited to one per semester, these courses may involve reading the literature on a topic, attending a lecture or seminar series, and writing a substantial research paper. It is your responsibility to make all of the arrangements no later than the end of add/drop period.
