Undergraduate/Professional Class Enrollment User Guide - GPCM Approval

The Kuali workflow application has been implemented for graduate students to request to enroll in an undergraduate- or professional-level class. Graduate program coordinators and managers will utilize the Kuali workflow application to review these requests for students in their programs. Students and administrators should refer to the Graduate School catalog for academic regulations.

Reviewing the UGRD/PROF Class Workflow Request

  1. Once a UGRD/PROF Class Workflow request has been directed to you, you will receive an approval request via email. Click Begin Review on the approval request to access the form.
  2. Information about the student appears in the Student Information section.
  3. Course Information includes term, class, and instructor information.
  4. The Justification section includes information the student provided about why they need to take the class and any additional assignments they will complete for graduate-level credit.

Approval Workflow/Timeline

The graduate program coordinator/manager is the second step in the UGRD/PROF Class Workflow, after the course instructor. Once the graduate program coordinator/manager approves a request, it routes to the Director of Graduate Studies and then to the Graduate School for final review and approvals. Upon final approval, the request routes to the Office of the University Registrar for processing.
