If you do not wish to pursue a degree program at UAH but wish to take courses independently, you may enter as a non-degree seeking student with departmental approval.


Create Your Charger Status Account

Charger Status will help you navigate the UAH Graduate Admissions process. Through your Charger Status account, you can:

  • Apply for graduate admission
  • Track the status of your application
  • Upload admissions supplemental items for review
  • View your admissions decision

If you are a current UAH undergraduate student, it is likely that you already have a Charger Status account. You may access your account by logging in with the same credentials you used to submit your undergraduate application for admission. Your login email will be a personal email address, not your official UAH email address. If you do not remember your previous log-in credentials, please click the "forgot password" link or contact Graduate Admissions. 


Submit Your Application

After creating your Charger Status account, you will be directed to the application for admission. Complete the application and pay the nonrefundable $60 application fee. Current UAH students and UAH alumni may be eligible to receive an application fee discount. Please contact our office for verification to receive the discount code.

Note

  • For each term you wish to enroll as a non-degree graduate student, you will need to submit a new application for admission and a new completed Non-Degree Course Approval Form. 
  • Should you decide to pursue a graduate degree at UAH, you will need to complete a new application for admission and submit all required supplemental items.
  • Students who enroll as a non-degree student are not eligible for federal financial aid. Standard tuition and fees apply to students who take courses as a non-degree student.

Non-Degree Course Approval Form

In order to be considered for admission as a non-degree graduate student, you must submit the Non-Degree Course Approval Form by uploading it directly to Charger Status. On your My Account page, click on your application, and then, click on "Supplemental Items & Documents." Please note, completion of this form will require you to get department approval for each course you wish to take (signature must come from the department head). 

Can I transfer UAH non-degree credits to a degree program?

Should you decide to pursue a graduate degree at UAH, you will need to complete a new application for admission and submit all required supplemental items. You may apply a maximum of 12 graduate hours earned as a non-degree student to a graduate degree program.  A minimum grade of B- is required for each course to be eligible for transfer to a degree program.
