Special Status Policy
Students holding baccalaureate degrees but who do not intend to pursue a degree program may be admitted under special status. Proof of
bachelor’s degree is required under special status. International applicants must demonstrate proof of English language proficiency and submit
the International Special Status Supplement form. Special status students must secure the appropriate departmental administrator’s signature on
the special status form prior to submitting it for registration. Admission as a special status student does not guarantee admission to any University
of Denver graduate degree program. In the event that the student subsequently wishes to undertake a degree program at the University of Denver,
the regular application procedures must be followed, including the submission of the required application fee. No more than 15-credit hours
earned in special status may be applied to the degree.
Special status students must apply each term in the appropriate graduate unit. Special status students may not register during priority registration,
but may register immediately prior to the beginning of each term. Some academic units do not allow special status enrollment. I certify that I hold
a baccalaureate degree, I am in good standing academically and financially in all colleges and universities attended.
I understand that this application and all credentials included for my admission file are confidential and become the property of the University of
Denver. These documents will not be returned, copied, or released to any person(s) or myself. I certify that the information given in this
application is true and complete without evasion or misrepresentation. I understand that willful omission, falsification, or incomplete statements
