If you are seeking a graduate degree, decide how you want to apply and do it! Degree-seeking status - use this method to become fully accepted into a degree program. If you chose this option, you will need to send materials to the Office of Admissions and the graduate department you wish to be admitted to. Non-Degree status - use this method to begin taking classes prior to submitting all the necessary paperwork for formal admission to a graduate program. Although Non-Degree status may limit both course and financial aid options, it is a great way to try out WMU or take classes if you missed the application deadline.
