The Mathematics Department welcomes Graduate Nonmatriculated students who have sufficient mathematical background to begin taking courses at the 400-level or higher.

Graduate Nonmatriculated (GNM) is a classification for students who already have bachelor's degrees and are not currently seeking a graduate degree. A minimum grade-point-average of 3.0 in the last 90 quarter (60 semester) graded credits is required for consideration. GNM students may apply a maximum of 12 graduate-level credits (any combination of GNM credits and transfer credits) toward degree requirements should they be accepted into a graduate program. It is important to note that acceptance as a GNM student does not imply admission to a graduate degree program. GNM status is not available to persons who will be holding F-1 visas. Financial support is not available to GNM students.

If you're planning to take courses only at the 400-level or lower, and will not need to count them toward a UW graduate degree, you might consider undergraduate non-degree enrollment instead, because the tuition is less expensive.
