Graduate Special Student Applicants:
The Graduate Non-Degree classification is reserved for the student who wants to take courses for graduate credit but is not currently working toward a degree at UWM.  If at a later date you decide to pursue a graduate degree at UWM, you will need to apply as a degree-seeking student.  This is a separate application process. 

Acceptance as a Graduate Non-Degree student does not guarantee admission to a graduate degree program.  The department(s) in which you propose to take graduate courses as a Non-Degree student have recommendation and denial authority for all Non-Degree candidates. 

If you are an International Non-Degree applicant, please contact the Center for International Studies at www.uwm.edu/Dept/CIE or e-mail isss@uwm.edu

For further information or to speak with a representative in the Graduate School, call 1-414-229-6569 or e-mail gradschool@uwm.edu
