Special Students

Students enrolled in other accredited postgraduate programs or faculty members from other higher education institutions may be accepted as special students to take individual courses.

Special students are subject to the same performance standards required of regular students, and their admission depends on course availability. However, they are not eligible for degree conferment.

Upon successful completion of the course(s), the special student will receive a statement issued by the Postgraduate Office indicating the course title, a brief syllabus, the total course load (in hours), and the number of credits earned.

Special students must pay the corresponding course fees, and are not eligible for scholarships or tuition waivers, except when the student is a faculty member of the same institution.

The exceptional admission of undergraduate students into specific graduate program courses is subject to the availability of slots and to written approval from the course instructor, which must be communicated in writing to the Postgraduate Office.

Students currently enrolled in lato sensu graduate programs may be recommended by a faculty member of the program to attend stricto sensu postgraduate courses. Credits earned may be validated if the student is later formally admitted as a regular stricto sensu postgraduate student.
