Non-Degree Student Information

Students holding a bachelor’s degree from a recognized college or university may be allowed to register for graduate courses contingent upon their requisite background for the specific courses. In each case, permission must be obtained from the program director. No more than two courses can be taken as a non-degree candidate. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. Additional courses require acceptance into a degree program.

The Non-Degree application is available through the Admissions Portal.

Tuition/Late Registration & Refund Policies

See the Office of the Bursar for information on tuition and refund policies.

Course Withdrawal Information

After a course has met three times, students must use the electronic Graduate Course Withdrawal Form in order to withdraw. See the Office of the Bursar website for information on tuition and refund policies.

Graduate Change of Certificate/Concentration

MBA and MSBA students seeking to add/drop a Certificate or Concentration should use the electronic Graduate Change of Certificate/Concentration Form in order to do so. Please direct any questions about updating your program of study to the PCSB Graduate Programs Office.

Textbook Information

In compliance with the federal Higher Education Act (2008), a listing of required and/or optional textbooks for courses is made available via the Providence College Bookstore. Faculty are asked to submit textbook information to the College bookstore as materials are identified and retain the right to change book orders at any time. If textbooks are not listed two weeks prior to the start of classes, students should contact the instructor directly. Students are free to choose where they purchase course materials. As good practice, students should carefully evaluate all suppliers of course materials, including their refund policies and shipping charges. It is recommended that students check the Providence College bookstore website prior to the start of the semester for any changes to course materials.

Proof of immunity is required prior to registration.

Matriculating graduate students are issued a Providence College ID Card which allows students to check books out from the library, add money to their PC Cash account and their card to spend money on campus at locations such as dining halls, cafes, vending machines, laser printers, and copy machines. It also acts as on-campus identification. Students must go to the PC Card Office in Harkins Hall 401, between the hours of 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM to have their photo taken. The first card is free of charge. There is a fee for a replacement card.
