Degree and Non-degree Credits

New Student*

A student who was not previously enrolled in a graduate level course at Penn State must complete an Acoustics course registration form and a Penn State Graduate School Application for admission to either degree or nondegree status. Information on How to Apply to the Graduate School is available from their website. When completing the application for admission, non-degree students should fill out the "degree" and "program" areas as 'non-degree graduate' and 'none' respectively. After submitting either a degree or non-degree application, the Graduate School will provide you with a Penn State identification number (ID). You must have the ID to complete the Acoustics course registration form.

Continuing Student*

A student who was enrolled as a degree or non-degree student in a Penn State graduate level course during the immediately preceding semester (fall or spring), need to submit only the Acoustics course registration form.

A student who was previously admitted to degree or non-degree status at Penn State and who was enrolled in a Penn State graduate level course during a preceding semester (not the immediately preceding fall or spring), must complete and submit a resume study form along with the Acoustics course registration form. Please follow the guidelines below for completing the resume study form. Once completed, please sign, date and email or fax the form to the Acoustics Distance Education Office: (814) 865-3119.
