Register as a Non-Degree Seeking Student

Before enrolling, students must do one of the following:

A new non-degree student application is required if there was a break in the student’s prior non-degree enrollment.

• To be a non-degree graduate student, you must hold a bachelor’s degree to register for graduate coursework as a non-degree student.
• Students enrolled in graduate programs at other universities or students who have completed a baccalaureate degree may register as non-degree students. Non-degree students must first secure the appropriate department or faculty member’s approval for each graduate-level course.

To view available courses for a term, students can access UB’s public class schedule.

A UBITName and password will be required to access many university resources, including the personal student account, which students will use for enrollment.

When a student’s application has been approved and processed, they will receive two email communications:

• An email with instructions on how to log back into the application status portal to retrieve their UB person number.
• An email with their UBITName and temporary, single-use password to log into HUB.

If a student has their UBITName and temporary, single-use password, they can activate their UBITName. Once activated, students can use their UBITName to access UB’s online services.

If a student has previously applied to or attended UB, they will use their existing username and password to log into HUB. If they do not remember this information they should contact the UBIT Help Desk.

• Immunization information provided to UB will differ for new and returning non-degree students based on:
  • The term/semester.
  • Number of enrolled credits.
  • Instruction type (in-person, online) for courses. 
• Students cannot enroll until their immunization information has been processed.
• Exemptions may be granted for measles, mumps and rubella immunizations.

Students planning to register for courses during a future term or semester must comply with immunization requirements prior to the next registration period.

International students should review information from International Admissions.

Students with bachelor’s degrees can register for graduate coursework as non-matriculated students for a maximum of 12 credit hours.

• Once registration reaches 12 credit hours a hold will be placed on the student’s academic record by the Graduate School prohibiting further registration until the student matriculates into a graduate degree program. 
• Contact the individual department for more information.
• Additional policies and procedures are available on the Graduate School website.
  

Students should review tuition and fee information and financial liability deadlines for any courses they register for.

When students have completed their holds and to-do items, they can register for classes via the HUB Student Center.

If a student is trying to register for a course with pre-requisite requirements, they may not be able to register on their own, and will likely need to work with the specific academic department that oversees that course to complete the registration process. Students should contact the Office of the Registrar if they do not know who to contact in a department.

Non-degree-seeking students should view the term pages for registration dates.
