Academic Policies and Procedures
Graduate Courses
AdvancedUpper-division undergraduates
who are within 30 hours of completing the baccalaureate degree may
petition their major's Associate Dean to take graduate courses by completing
the appropriate form available in the student's
academic advising office. If approved, these graduate courses
can be applied toward satisfying undergraduate degree requirements
or can be designated for future application toward a graduate degree
requirement at U.T. Dallas. The student must declare at the time of
registration for the course, on a form provided by the Undergraduate
Associate Dean, how each approved course is to be applied. Once
applied, the options cannot be changed. Approvals
will be subject to the conditions outlined in the following sections.
Graduate Courses Applied Toward an Undergraduate
Degree
With the approval of the student’s Undergraduate Associate
Dean, up to 12 semester credit hours
of graduate work taken as an undergraduate may be used for completing
any baccalaureate degree at UTDThe University
of Texas at Dallas.
Pass/fail grading for graduate courses will be permitted in this
category but must be approved by the instructor prior to the start
of class.
Graduate Courses for Possible Future Use as
Graduate Credit
Undergraduates may take up to 12 semester credit hours
of graduate courses to reserve for possible application toward a
graduate degree. To register, undergraduate students must obtain
permission from the course instructor
and from the graduate advisor of the program in which the course
is offered. Such courses with an earned grade of B or better will
be eligible for application to the student’s graduate record
when the student is admitted to a graduate program. Courses so taken
will not apply to the student’s undergraduate record and will
not affect the student’s undergraduate GPA.
Graduate Courses Taken in Fast Track Options
A number of programs at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) offer
an accelerated Fast Track option that allows students to take graduate
level classes while still undergraduates.
Specific admission requirements for Fast Track programs can be found
within the descriptions of majors.
Undergraduate students at U.T. DallasUTD who
have been admitted to Fast Track programs at
UTD leading to baccalaureate/master’s
degrees may, with the permission of the student's Undergraduate
Association Dean and graduate advisor, take a maximum of 15 specified
semester credit hours of graduate work as
an undergraduate. The graduate hours may be used to complete
the
bachelor’sbaccalaureate degree
and also to satisfy requirements for the master’s degree. Exceptions
to the 15-hour maximum may be granted by petition to the Deans of
Graduate and Undergraduate Education submitted through the relevant
program’s director
of graduate studies.
Graduate programs at UTD will accept admission to a Fast Track program
as satisfying Graduate Record Exam (GRE) criteria for admission to
the graduate program. The School of Management requires students to
meet its graduate admission requirements including completion of the
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) prior to receiving the
baccalaureate degree.
