Accepted Student Status
Students will be fully accepted or may have provisional or conditional status.
Provisional Status
Provisional status is granted to students who qualify for admission to a program, but who must complete a specific procedural requirement (e.g., filing an official transcript issued after the bachelor's degree has been officially awarded). Provisional status in a program may be granted before the baccalaureate degree is conferred for graduate study. The requirements for admission to full degree (matriculant status) will be clearly stated in the letter of acceptance.
It is the responsibility of the student to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor when the requirements have been met. Until a requirement(s) is met, the provisional status designation will remain on the student's academic record. This will preclude students from registering for additional courses.
Conditional Status
Conditional status is granted to students who may not fully meet admission criteria, but, are offered the opportunity to take courses before a final decision is made. Under conditional status, students are typically restricted to taking one and no more than two courses. The requirements for admission to full degree (matriculant status) will be clearly stated in the letter of acceptance.
It is the responsibility of the student to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor when the requirement(s) has been met. Until this requirement is met, the conditional status designation will remain on the student's academic record. This will preclude students from registering for additional courses and progression in the program of study.
International Student Admission
Notre Dame welcomes students from every nation in the world to apply for admission. A diverse campus community enhances NDMU's world view and enriches classroom interaction.
Programs and services for international students include orientation, academic and immigration counseling.
In addition to general admission requirements and additional requirements as per the School where the graduate program resides, international applicants must:
- Be able to qualify for the F-1 student visa: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/study/student-visa.html

Specialized Contract Courses for Non-Matriculants
Notre Dame offers graduate courses by contract with local organizations, including school systems, for specified populations. Students must provide evidence of an undergraduate degree to register for any graduate-level class. Students admitted to specialized contract courses may take these courses without being admitted to a program. Admission to specialized courses does not imply admission to other graduate courses or to a program. Students admitted to specialized contract courses may apply for admission to a program, and will be considered for admission under the usual application procedures.
If admitted, up to nine credits taken in contract courses may be considered for transfer into the degree program.
Back to top
Registration for Professional Development Institute (PDI)
Students in the specialized education contract courses register as non-matriculants in the Professional Development Institute (PDI).
Students may be permitted to enroll in the Professional Development Institute (PDI) in order to take graduate level education courses for their own enrichment or to fulfill requirements for Maryland schools. Teachers in Maryland schools may apply to the PDI for recertification or for a second certification.
By their signature on the PDI registration form, students are affirming they have earned their undergraduate degree. If the confirmation of the undergraduate degree (transcript) is not received from the granting institution, Notre Dame reserves the right to withdraw credit for the course(s) and to terminate the student's PDI status.
Students registering through the Professional Development Institute (PDI) may later apply for admission to a Notre Dame graduate program and will be considered for admission under the normal application procedure. If students wish to transfer from the PDI to matriculation in one of the degree programs, they must complete the regular graduate admission process. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Registering through the Professional Development Institute for graduate level or specialized courses does not guarantee admission to other graduate courses or to a graduate degree program.
If a PDI student is admitted to a graduate program, up to nine credits earned in PDI courses may be utilized in the degree program if those PDI credits apply to the degree program and if the student earned a grade of B or better in the PDI course(s). A delay of three (3) years or more in matriculating for a master’s degree may mean that those courses (credits) are not applicable for the degree.
Notre Dame reserves the right to determine which courses may be offered under the auspices of the Professional Development Institute (PDI).
Back to top
Visiting Students
Degree-seeking students in a graduate program at another college or university may be admitted as visiting students, taking courses at Notre Dame to be transferred to their graduate program. Undergraduate students may take one graduate course at Notre Dame of Maryland University per semester.
To be eligible, an undergraduate student must:
- Be a matriculated student in good standing who has completed at least one semester of the senior year at one of the following institutions: Coppin State, Goucher College, Loyola University, Maryland Institute College of Art, Morgan State University, The Johns Hopkins University, Towson University or the University of Baltimore;
- Have at least a 3.0 undergraduate GPA on a 4.0-point scale.
- Present a letter from the Dean or Director of the Program of Study at the institution which he/she is attending, indicating permission to take a particular course.
Undergraduate students admitted under this policy are visiting students in the graduate programs at Notre Dame. Courses taken at the graduate level are not eligible to be used for the undergraduate degree (or vice versa).
Visiting student status will lapse once a student has completed the course(s) stipulated at the time of application. Admission of a Visiting Student to the University does not guarantee that a course will be scheduled, that it will not be cancelled in the event of insufficient enrollment, or that there will be room in the class at the time the visiting student attempts to register. Visiting students pay the current graduate tuition rate directly to Notre Dame. Grade reports are not sent to the student's home institution; students who require a transcript must request a copy from the Registrar's Office at Notre Dame.
Back to top
Policies Related to Admission
Transfer Credit Policy
At the time of admission, students must initiate requests for transfer credit for courses already completed. Graduate courses taken at other colleges and universities after admission to Notre Dame require advance approval from the appropriate dean. In certain Programs, it may not be possible to take core courses elsewhere given their unique design. Except as noted elsewhere in this Catalog, a maximum of six (6) graduate credits may be transferred into any of the Master's degree programs at Notre Dame. Courses transferred into the graduate program must carry a grade of "B" or better, be directly related to the student's Notre Dame Program, and not have been applied toward another degree. (Transfer credits must have been completed in the past seven years.)
Re-admission Policy
Notre Dame does not automatically re-admit students who have withdrawn from the University or whose matriculant status has lapsed. Students must submit a new Graduate Application and official transcript(s). Readmitted students must fulfill the Program requirements in place at the time of re-admission.
Registration Policies
Students who have satisfied the admission requirements and have been admitted into a specific graduate program may register for graduate courses. Students may not register until they have been officially accepted into a graduate studies Program of Study or approved for non-matriculant status.
Course schedules, registration dates, and instructions are available on the Notre Dame's website, www.ndm.edu and through WebAdvisor.
Registration fees are applied to a student's account at the time of registration. Tuition and other fees are due by a specific date each registration period. A student's registration is subject to cancellation if tuition and other fees are not paid by the specified deadline prior to the beginning of classes. However, please note that non-payment is not an authorized method of dropping a class; if the student's name remains on the class roster, the student will be responsible for payment and will receive a grade of "F" for the course.
WebAdvisor
WebAdvisor is an online tool for Notre Dame students and faculty. WebAdvisor data are real-time and enable students direct access including but not limited to: the Schedule of Courses, the Catalog, and information on a student's grades, schedules, financial aid, as well as access to online registration and payment and payment services. All students are provided access to WebAdvisor and are encouraged to use these tools.
Change in Registration
To make a change in registration, i.e., dropping or adding a course, students should access WebAdvisor. Students may add a course until the date specified in the Course Schedule. Changes in registration must be made during the drop/add period. Students may drop a class without academic record until the day classes begin in that particular term. Dropped courses do not appear on the student's transcript. Once the term begins, students may withdraw from (but not drop) a course. The deadline for withdrawing is published in the Academic Calendar which can be found on the Registrar's webpage. If a student withdraws from a course a "W" grade will appear on the student's transcript. Students who fail to withdraw officially from a course and simply stop attending will receive a grade of "F" and will be responsible for full payment of tuition and fees.
Online Consortium Registration
Notre Dame of Maryland University is a member of the Online Consortium of Independent Colleges and Universities (OCICU). This partnership allows NDMU graduate students to enroll in some courses offered online, with an accelerated pace. Students who elect the Project Management Concentration in the Leadership and Management Program will take up to four of their concentration electives online through the Consortium.
Students complete the registration process through NDMU and are awarded NDMU graduate credits upon successful completion of the course. Registration for online consortium classes is a two-stage process. Students are not officially registered until confirmation is received from OCICU. Students follow all OCICU rules and regulations when enrolled in these classes. Faculty teaching these courses are employed by Regis University. Students are responsible for tuition/fees for OCICU courses not dropped by the OCICU deadline date. Please see your academic advisor for more information on consortium online courses.
