The best thing to do in this case is to complete a new application for the CHS Certificate program and send us an email at uicgrad@uic.edu letting us know if you wish to withdraw your Non-Degree Public Health app.

I'd like some information
I'd like some information about Graduate Student at Large status. There are classes I'm interested in for personal and professional development, and would like to take them for credit, but am unsure whether I want or need a degree. What I've found is ambiguous. Perhaps I've not found the right stuff, or perhaps it isn't on your website.
