Non-degree Alumni Status

All University of Miami graduates are eligible for this special Lifelong Learning Benefit. Students may take classes of interest, that they may have missed the opportunity to enroll in previously while completing degree requirements. From Anthropology to Theatre Arts and all the disciplines in between, they may choose a class or collection of classes (maximum two classes per discipline) to meet professional or personal goals.

Return to campus to learn again, taking credit courses in the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Communication, and School of Education & Human Development at a special Alumni rate.

The Alumni Rate Program offered by the Division of Continuing & International Education is the opportunity for holders of UM degrees (both undergraduate and graduate degrees) to take classes, on a space-available basis at a special discounted rate per credit hour.

Please email umnondgree@miami.edu or call 305-284-3389 for details.
