Yes, graduate students may enroll in undergraduate courses and be charged undergraduate tuition without changing their admission status.
No. Students will receive undergraduate credit and a grade for these courses, but cannot request a change to graduate credit at a later date. Grades earned will not be computed into the student's term or cumulative grade point average.
Transcripts will indicate: "Undergraduate credit earned, no graduate credit awarded." Students taking a combination of undergraduate and graduate courses in one term will be charged graduate fees for all courses. Courses numbered 500-799 may be taken at the graduate level only.
Students should verify whether a UW-Whitewater course will be accepted by their home institution with their advisor or academic department at their home institution. The Transferology website can be a helpful tool in determining this; however, it is not always current and verification with the home institution is necessary. Once students have completed their UW-Whitewater course, they can request a transcript through the Registrar’s Office.
