Senior Rule Request - Wayne State University

Thank you for your interest in seeking senior rule status
Please note, per the graduate bulletin:

In their last undergraduate semester, Wayne State students with a 3.0 (or above) upper division grade point average have the option of taking a limited number of graduate credits to be used toward a master's degree. Graduate credit is awarded only for those courses taken in excess of baccalaureate degree requirements.

Undergraduate and graduate courses combined may not exceed sixteen credits for the final semester of baccalaureate degree work. A Senior Rule student must register for at least one credit which is required for the undergraduate degree in order to be eligible for this status. Students who have completed all required registrations for the baccalaureate may not obtain Senior Rule status.

Students who qualify and are recommended by the department will be given a `temporary' admission to the Graduate School for one semester. A final transcript showing the bachelor's degree must be submitted to the Office of University Admissions before regular status as a graduate student can be authorized.

As a courtesy, the University permits a student admitted to Senior Rule status to pay undergraduate fees for those graduate courses elected toward his/her master's degree. Students admitted to this status are advised to elect 5000-6999 courses in their Senior Rule semester that carry both undergraduate and graduate credit. Authorization is made by the individual college or school. Completion of the Application for Graduate Admission form is required. Senior Rule status may be granted for one semester only. Students are directed to consult their advisers and the Office of University Admissions. Application deadlines for Senior Rule admission are the same as for regular graduate admission.

If you meet all of the above qualifications and wish to proceed with seeking senior rule status, please continue submitting all required information.

Please note; all students seeking senior rule status are advised to be fully aware of all financial implications related to this status.
