University of Illinois
Dairy Certificate Program

Registration and Enrollment Information

Enrollment Options

Students have three enrollment options:

1. Take class for undergraduate credit. 2-3 hours of credit. (For courses taken at 200-level or for those that do not already have a bachelor's degree.)
2. Take class for graduate credit. 2-3 hours of credit. (Those with a bachelor's degree will automatically be registered for graduate level credits other than for a 200-level course.)
3. Audit the class. Students sit through class discussions but never receive a grade. It is a way for self-improvement; however, audited (or non-credit) classes do NOT count towards the Dairy Certificate and do NOT earn credit.

In order to complete Animal Sciences classes for college credit, students need to complete and turn in weekly assignments and complete a final examination. Weekly assignments focus on main topics covered through training modules and class lectures.

Note: Costs do NOT include the CDROM for the class which must be purchased separately for $45 (US & Canada). For more information on tuition and fees for continuing education classes, please follow this link.

Registration

Non-degree Seeking Students

The link you will use to register as a non-degree seeking student (a student not admitted yet into a program) is http://www.outreach.uiuc.edu. This site is where you will also locate all the courses being offered by subject area or by program area. Students may search by program of study, subject, or site location on the Academic Outreach Online Course Catalog at: https://www-s.continuinged.uiuc.edu/ao/registration/courses.cfm. Upon registering for the first time with Illinois, you will be given a UIUC Net ID and password which gives you access to student services such as class activities online, email, library services and other important functions on the campus. After you receive your University Identification Number (UIN), you may claim your Net ID and password at: https://netidclaim.uiuc.edu/claim/claim.fcgi.

Non-Degree Students becoming Degree-Seeking Students

***Non-degree undergraduates desiring to apply to the B.S. in Horticulture program, please contact the NRES department.

If you are a current non-degree graduate student and are ready to apply into a degree program, you may do so by visiting the application website for the Graduate College at: http://www.grad.uiuc.edu/admissions/apply/. Please contact your departmental admissions office if you have additional questions or need the correct "program code" for the program you wish to apply for. Those students who have taken courses as a "nondegree seeking student" must fill out a course petition after being accepted into the program to apply those courses towards a degree. Contact your program department on the procedure for completing the petition. The Graduate College policy beginning in the Fall 2008 term is that no more than 12 credit hours may be applied toward a degree from UIUC non-degree credits taken prior to being admitted to a degree program, but also up to 12 hours may also be approved from other accredited institutions for transfer as well. The approval of transfer credit from other institutions for this rule is done by your program department and will require that syllabi and transcripts be submitted for review. Transfer credit may or may not be approved.

Degree Seeking Students
