Courses & Registration

One of our most frequently asked questions regarding registration is, "Can I take a class if I haven't applied to a program?" The answer is, "Yes!" Graduate policy is to allow a student to take up to six credits of course work before applying to a degree, licensure or certificate program. However, you are welcome to take courses for continuing education purposes only.

Course Schedules are listed per term in the blue box on this page and will be posted before the initial registration date for each session.

Should you need help with deciding what course is appropriate for you to take, you can meet with one of our academic advisors in the program of your choice. The contact information is listed at the top of each program's course schedule. If at any time you are unsure or cannot find what you need, e-mail us at graduate@smcvt.edu.

Current students may also wish to meet with the appropriate program director or faculty advisor before registering. All course changes, withdrawals, and special arrangements must be approved by the appropriate program director.

Student Status
Graduate students are classified in one of the categories listed below:

  • An auditor is a student who receives no course credit, but must complete the normal registration procedures.
  • A non-matriculated student is one who is registered for credit, but is not formally admitted to a degree or certificate program. Students must apply for admission and be accepted prior to or upon completion of six credit hours or risk not having additional credits applied toward the degree.
  • A matriculated student is one who is registered for credit and has been formally admitted to a program of study through the application process.
