Graduate Non-Matriculated Status (GNM)

Graduate Non-Matriculated (GNM) enrollment allows post-baccalaureate students to take graduate nursing courses without being admitted to a School of Nursing degree program. Up to 12 credits taken as a GNM student can be applied towards a graduate nursing degree if you are accepted to that degree program. International students on F-1 visas are not eligible for GNM status.

There are six (6) and ten (10) year limits on GNM courses used towards the fulfillment of masters and doctoral degrees, respectively. An applicant who plans to both transfer credits from a graduate nursing program at another school and apply UW GNM credits towards a School of Nursing degree is limited to a maximum combined total of 12 credits. GNM credit may also apply to residency requirements for graduate degrees.

Acceptance as a GNM student does not give priority for later admission to the Graduate School for pursuit of a degree.
