NDO Students

The Dean of the Graduate Division or his or her designated representative may grant admission on rare occasions to applicants who meet the entrance requirements imposed by the Graduate Council, and who seek to undertake coursework acceptable in graduate standing without a graduate degree objective (e.g., students making up subject deficiencies for entrance into medical school; teachers with master's degrees or higher needing a term or two of refresher study for sabbatical leave; and foreign students on a year's exchange). Visiting students who are interested obtaining academic credit for UCLA coursework should apply for non-degree objective status (NDO) through the UCLA Graduate Admissions Office.

Fees: Those admitted to NDO status are expected to pay the same fees and tuition as regular students. (Click on "Fees")
