Admission Requirements 1. Receipt of an earned baccalaureate degree. Filing a completed application form with the University Registrar's Office. There is no Graduate Application fee for non-degree graduate students. Students are permitted to enroll in classes on a space-available basis.
Priority is given to degree-seeking students where limited enrollment occurs.
Such exemptions require the endorsement of the graduate degree program that the student wishes to enter. A student may petition for an extension of the 12-credit limit. However, if denied at the departmental level, requests for an extension of the 12-credit limit may be submitted to the Graduate College Petitions Committee for review and disposition. At Cleveland State University, a transient student is subject to the same academic regulations that govern degree-seeking students. Students seeking transient status at Cleveland State University must complete the Graduate Transient Application and receive approval from their home institution to enroll for specified courses.
