Applying to Graduate Non-Degree Programs

---

Click “Sign up with your university credentials” if you have started an application or “Apply now” if you are new to CU Denver.

The "Start New Application" box should be prepopulated with "Graduate Non-Degree Admissions". If it is not, you should select "Graduate Non-Degree Admissions" at this stage.

This step lays the foundation for your application. Ensure accuracy and completeness before proceeding.

1. Select "Certificate", followed by "Online" or "On-Campus" (some certificates are only offered in one or the other).
2. Select the Certificate you wish to apply to from the list.
3. If you don't see the certificate listed please choose "Non-Degree", then "Denver Non-Degree" and finally "Interest in Education" under subplan followed by the term you plan to enroll.

We understand this part can be confusing, if you need help please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

The requirements of the application will update based on the program you apply to, so complete each section of the application in the order presented. Your information will automatically save as you complete each section and click "Continue."

Ensure accuracy and completeness before proceeding. If you've already taken classes towards the certificate, please let us know what you've taken.
