Non-Matriculating (NM) Students (Non-Degree) (GRE not required)
UPH accepts students in select courses. Non-matriculated students may earn a maximum of 9 credits in NM status. Credits earned are applied to the graduate degree for students who apply to and are accepted into the MPH program. Courses open to non-matriculated students read "Majors or department permission" on the course schedules Registration is contingent on space availability and must be approved by a UPH faculty advisor during designated NM advisement dates posted on the UPH homepage. Advisement generally is 10-14 days before the start of classes, and takes place on our Brookdale campus. Students must apply to Hunter Admissions before seeking UPH registration advisement and approval. Upon registration approval, NM's must register via Hunter online registration system (eSIMS) and then visit the Hunter Registrar/Oasis at the 68th Street main campus to pay tuition by the Registrar's stipulated deadline. NM's who are approved but choose not to register should inform the UPH Administrative office immediately to release space o other interested students.
NM Application: The application and information is available at the Admissions website. Though original transcripts are not required, you must submit a photocopy of a diploma or transcripts indicating proof of an earned Bachelor's or higher degree. Preferred application deadline is at least 6 weeks before each semester start.
In accordance with NY State law, all students must also submit proof of immunizations. Both the Hunter immunization form (see Forms on the Registrar's website) or a form or record from another source ( previous college or an employer) is acceptable.

International students, and residents and citizens submitting foreign transcript contact Admissions for the application deadline.

Tuition payment must be made in person by the deadline stipulated by the Registrar or registration. If payment is not received, courses will be dropped within five days. Courses dropped by students or the Registrar after the start of courses still incur tuition fees. If you register for courses and choose not attend, offically drop courses BEFORE the start of classes to avoid tuition, application and fee charges. You will be liable for any courses dropped by you or the Registrar after the start of classes. See the Registrar's registration and tuition calendar before each semester for additional information.
