Taking a Course in the Department
Which classes may I take before being admitted into the program?

Please note that taking classes as a Post-Baccalaureate does not guarantee admission in to the program. The application process remains the same as it is for all prospective students, regardless of Post-Baccalaureate courses completed. In addition, individuals can only transfer in 18 credits (six 3-credit courses) if admitted into the program.
How can I take a class in the Department of Counseling if I am enrolled in another Graduate Program at UNC Charlotte?
The Department of Counseling permits individuals from other graduate level disciplines to enroll in the courses listed above. Current students enrolled in the Department of Counseling get preferred placement in all classes within the department. If you are enrolled in another graduate level program at UNC Charlotte and wish to explore the option of taking a course through the Department of Counseling, please notify the professor of record to request to take their course.
If you enroll in a course, that is not listed above and without permission from the instructor, your enrollment will be withdrawn or you will be removed from the class.
