POST-BACCALAUREATE APPLICANTS Post-baccalaureate students who hold a BA/BS or equivalent degree and want to take additional courses not related to an additional degree. Under post-baccalaureate status, your previous academic work will not be evaluated by the registrar and you will be admitted as a non-degree seeking student.
