Graduate visiting students are limited to no more than 12 credits during the fall or spring semester.

Visiting admission is based on the following:

• Admission to the university with a non-degree-seeking status does not guarantee automatic access to regular status upon application.
• Former Al Akhawayn students do not automatically qualify for visiting or non-degree status.
• Converting from non-degree seeking or visiting status to regular status requires that the candidate meets the academic requirements for entry into the program. Undergraduate visiting students wishing to enroll in graduate-level courses must obtain permission from the relevant course instructor and the dean of the school.
