Can I take graduate courses without formally applying to the program?

Yes. In order to enrol you should enter the program under the category of Professional Growth. You must fill out the Professional Growth Form, and bring the completed form to the Biology graduate Coordinator for a signature. You may take up to 6 graduate credits (2 courses) without enrolling in the program. If you then decide to enroll in the program at a later stage, you can count these classes towards graduation.
