Courses Approved for Regular Rackham Graduate Credit

All courses taken in fulfillment of Rackham degree requirements must be approved for Rackham graduate credit. Be certain that any courses you plan to take--especially those numbered in the 400s--are approved for Rackham credit before you enroll in them. The Graduate School policy on courses is as follows:

Courses at the 400 level and above are acceptable for graduate credit if they have been approved by the Graduate School.

If you are uncertain whether or not a course is approved for Rackham credit, check with the department offering the course or with the Rackham Course Approval Officer (764-8221).

If you elect a course that has not been approved for Rackham graduate credit, the course will appear on your university transcript with the notation "Not for Graduate Credit." The course grade will appear on the transcript, but it will not be averaged into your cumulative grade point average or your credit toward program (CTP) total.

Courses Not Approved for Graduate Credit

Courses at the 300 level and below are not acceptable for graduate credit, without exception. Undergraduate level foreign language courses may occasionally be used in fulfillment of some departmental foreign language requirements.

Under unusual circumstances you may petition to receive graduate credit for a course not normally approved for graduate credit (e.g., such as an undergraduate course where you will be expected to perform more advanced work than the undergraduates). Because there is no guarantee of approval, you should submit your petition to the Graduate School's Office of Academic Records and Dissertations (OARD) before taking the course. Your petition must be endorsed by the course instructor and by the graduate chair of your department or program, and it must include an explanation for requesting the exception. You will be expected to perform graduate level work in the course, and the petition must show how this will be accomplished. You may obtain a petition form from your department, from OARD, or the Rackham website. Source: The Rackham Graduate School Graduate Student Handbook Chapter 3.
