There are two paths to become a non-degree seeking student at UT Tyler. https://www.uttyler.edu/admissions-aid/graduate/how-to-apply/

1. Post-Baccalaureate Non-Degree Seeking

This admission type is for students who have earned a baccalaureate degree, but wish to take additional undergraduate classes without earning a second baccalaureate degree. Students are not limited in the number of hours of undergraduate work they may complete and will pay undergraduate tuition.

To be admitted, Post-Baccalaureate Non-Degree Seeking students need to submit official transcripts – no minimum GPA required. No entrance exams are needed. Students with foreign transcripts may need an evaluation and language proficiency exam scores.
