Undergraduate Students Taking Graduate Courses

ESU undergraduate students may take a maximum of six graduate credits during their senior year if the following criteria are met:

1. Satisfaction of the grade point requirements for admission with full graduate standing, i.e. 3.000 GPA in the major and 2.5000 GPA overall (may be higher for some majors);
2. Verification of senior class status (completion of 90 credits);
3. Approval by the appropriate faculty member teaching the class;
4. Approval of the dean of the Graduate College. This must be submitted to the Student Enrollment Center.

All appropriate signatures must be secured prior to registering. Graduate credit that is used to satisfy graduation requirements for the bachelor’s degree cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of a master’s degree at ESU.
