Please review The School of Graduate Studies admissions information
for International students.
Yes, admission to qualified status may be granted to applicants who have met all requirements except for prerequisite coursework which must be completed prior to advancement to candidacy status for graduation. Generally, students will not be admitted to a degree program with more than six (6) credits of outstanding prerequisites. In such cases, students can enroll in post-baccalaureate or graduate non-degree status. Upon completion of the conditions of acceptance, and provided the student has earned a GPA of at least 3.00 for all work attempted, he/she is eligible to be advanced to Approved Status.Students in qualified status will not be allowed to continue in the program if they fail to meet the conditions of their acceptance.
According to the SpSt admission requirements, you need "one semester of course work in statistics or algebra or calculus or computer science with a grade of B or better" to successfully complete the program requirements. The specific courses in a student’s individual program of study will dictate the math background necessary to complete the program. For instance, students with a technical area emphasis which involves more space science and engineering courses will likely need more exposure to higher-level mathematics than students with a social area emphasis.
The courses listed below require the highest level of undergraduate math skills. Those levels of skill are indicated:
In a simple answer, probably not. While we have many alumni working for NASA and various space industry jobs, none have ever gone on to become an astronaut, even though a few have made it to the final selection rounds. This program is not designed to train you to become an astronaut, but several of our courses will assist you in this endeavor. Please visit the NASA Astronaut Selection
website for further recommendations and assistance for planning your education towards becoming an astronaut.Our program is designed to prepare graduates to lead space exploration and the development of new space activities with an educational background necessary to understand the linkages between space science, engineering, and policy.
Admission on provisional status may be granted to an applicant who has not met one or more of the general School of Graduate Studies or program level admission requirements, e.g. low GPA, low test scores, lack of a required test, or inadequate writing skills. Students admitted to provisional status because of their previous GPA will be eligible for advancement to approved status after the completion of 9 credits if their GPA for those credits is at least 3.0.Students in provisional status will not be allowed to continue in the program if after one registration their GPA falls below 3.0, or if they have failed to meet otherspecified conditions. Students in provisional status are not eligible for graduate teaching or research assistantships, or tuition waivers.
Unlike many graduate degree programs that process applications for admission once per year for the Fall Semester, the Department of Space Studies processes applications for admission throughout the year, allowing students that are accepted into the program to begin their studies in any semester. The deadlines for submitting completed applications for each semester are as follows: April 30 for the Fall Semester, October 31 for Spring Semester, and February 28 for Summer Semester.
*** Applicants are only offered admission for the term that they indicate on the application. Applicants who identify an error on their application, or need to delay their intended term start date must contact The School of Graduate Studies to request a change.***
Although it is beneficial to apply for the fall semester, students can begin the program each semester – fall, spring or summer. The introductory core course, SpSt 501 Survey of Space Studies, is offered only in the fall semester, and since it is a co- or pre-requisite to most other courses, the best option is to apply for fall semester.
The applicant has the ability to request updates of certain information during the application process (i.e. address, contact information, etc.).This request must be made in writing (email preferred) and cannot be done by the department on the student’s behalf. Final approval of some requests may require additional review by the Dean. Applicants may not change the academic program after an application is submitted. Individuals applying to the wrong program are required to submit a new application and associated application materials.
Yes, you can apply for admission to The School of Graduate Studies as a Non-Degree status student. You can take as many courses as you like as a Non-Degree student. Be aware that you may only apply up to 9 credit hours of course work towards a degree, should you decide at a later time to pursue the M.S. degree.
The GRE & GMAT are not required for this program. However, the GRE is required if you are seeking funding (graduate teaching or research assistantships and tuition waivers) from the department or a faculty member.
Please contact The School of Graduate Studies regarding any application questions. You may email questions@gradschool.und.edu
 ; call them toll-free at 800-CALL-UND extension 2784; or direct at(701) 777-2784.
Check your “My GradSpace"
page for the most up-to-date information.
Most importantly, you need to accept your offer of admission. The admission letter clearly states the date (semester) of admission and any other conditions of admission. Applicants accepting an offer of admission are expected to fulfill any associated conditions of admission.
Please refer to the “I’m accepted, what’s next” website for a checklist to help guide you through starting your first semester. This includes registering for classes, creating an online classroom account, activating your UND email account, etc.
If you have been offered admission by a letter published in My GradSpace, you can use the
Delayed Matriculation
Request. You would need departmental approval to move your admit term with this procedure. Please download the pdf, and then
send it to the graduate program director for approval. If you do not enroll in program-specific courses in the semester
to which you were admitted, your admission may be rescinded.
If you have not yet received an application decision letter published in My GradSpace, you have the right to make an Delayed Matriculation
Application Change Request. You do not need departmental approval for this. Please download the pdf, and then return it
directly to The School of Graduate Studies. Remember, your application can only be considered for the program and term indicated
on the application, or changed to by this procedure.
Both procedures can only be used once. Failure to enroll in the term admitted voids the admission offer. Once an admission offer is voided, individuals wishing to be considered for a later date must submit a new application and associated application materials.
Please visit the UND International Programs webpage
for assistance concerning immigration, employment, taxes, health insurance, etc.
Yes, Space Studies will be offering an annual
Cornerstone Week prior to fall semester each year. This conference provides an opportunity to visit the UND campus, meet professors and on-campus students, participate in the official School of Graduate Studies Cornerstone session, and tour the UND Campus, Space Studies labs, and the School of Aerospace facilities.
There will also be sessions with the Space Studies Graduate Director, Financial Aid,
the Chester Fritz Library, as well as training for using HTMLeZ and Campus Connection and
understanding The School of Graduate Studies forms process. Cornerstone is open to all newly admitted students in the program, those already part way through their program, and also prospective students. Attendance is not required, but strongly recommended for your benefit.
Please submit the registration form to reserve your spot.
The School of Graduate Studies also has an online Orientation for the benefit of online students that are not able to attend the Space Studies Cornerstone.
Course Registration and Program Questions
Students beginning in the fall semester must register for SpSt 501 Survey of Space Studies. This is a pre- or co-requisite to most other courses. Students that begin in the spring or summer semesters may choose a course of their best interest, either 400 or 500 level, as long as the instructor approves any missing pre-requisites. It is recommended to consult your assigned advisor for academic decisions.
The space studies class schedule is available at the One-Stop webpage. We try to have about two years of class schedule available to assist students with planning their program of study.
You will also find the class schedule at Campus Connection, but that is for the coming semester only. How do I register for courses? To register for courses, update your student account information, view your tuition account balance and grades, you will need to log on to UND CampusConnection.

Explain clearly why you are requesting to drop a course after the deadline. Clearly specify the course and term you are requesting to drop. The administrative procedures committee will meet on these petitions throughout the semester, and you will be notified by letter.
Each Space Studies course has a website where you will find the course syllabus, assignments, collaboration and chat tools, and other important course material. Course websites are powered by the eZ Learning Management System
. Course websites are password protected andaccessible only by authorized students. You must be enrolled in the course to gain access to the course website. Generally, course website access will be available one week prior to the date of instruction for that course. Go to eZ to create an account which will enable you to request access to the classroom. Once access is granted, your classrooms will appear in your eZ control center for easy access.
Students who wish to take a leave of absence from their program must
notify their graduate program and The School of Graduate Studies by submitting
a “Graduate Readmission or Leave of Absence” form in advance of their
leave. This form requires department approval. Degree seeking students
who do not submit a leave of absence will be required to apply for
readmission using this same form.
Students who do not submit a leave of absence will be required to
submit a "Graduate Readmission or Leave of Absence". This form requires
a departmental signature. Applications for readmission will be
reviewed and approved by the program and The School of Graduate Studies Dean.
Enrolled students who are members of military reserve or National Guard units and who are called to active military duty should review the details at the Office of the Registrar

Yes, but they must be approved for graduate credit. At least one-half of the credits for your degree must be in courses numbered 500 or higher. Refer to the course listing for approved 400-level courses.
The focus on the United States in policy courses will reflect its relative position in the world as one of the two major space-faring nations since the 1960s. However, as civil space activities are by nature, global activities, courses also reflect the growing role of cooperation and the contributions of many nations. The specific roles of a number of organizations like ESA, UNCOPUS, EUMETSAT, and others, are raised in some courses, as well as policies of individual nations.
It is anticipated that by making the Space Studies degree available through distance learning technologies, participation of students from a variety of nations will strengthen the international component of all classes.
Space.edu has a forms page that contains links to many of the necessary forms you will need throughout your program. The School of Graduate Studies forms page
Please visit the One-Stop webpage for current University calendars.
The UND School of Graduate Studies and the Department of Space Studies have certain criteria and guidelines for transfer of credits. Please refer to One-Stop for the transfer credit guidelines.
Graduate students do not have the option of electing S-U grading for graduate courses, unless that is the only way they are offered, like in the case of thesis or colloquium credits.
All courses taken by graduate students, for which a grade of D, F, or U was received, may be repeated once for credit, with only the second grade to count in the grade point average. This option does not apply to a student who has been dismissed. Courses with grades of C or better may not be repeated without the written approval of the Dean of The School of Graduate Studies. It is up to the student to notify The School of Graduate Studies when a course has been retaken so that the grade point average can be recalculated. Courses taken as an undergraduate may not be taken again as a graduate student and used on a program of study.
If you can’t complete a course on time because of something beyond your control, you may request to receive an incomplete grade. Your instructor may allow this if they feel that there is reasonable certainty that you will successfully complete the course without retaking it. There is a form called, “Report of Incomplete Grade”, that will need to be completed by the instructor. Please be aware that the work needs to be completed by the specified deadline that your instructor indicates on this form or the grade may be reported as an “F”.
To be considered full time, the minimum credits taken in the fall and spring semesters are 9 and during the summer semester are 6. Students with an assistantship will be considered full time by registering for a minimum of 6 credits. To qualify for Federal Financial Aid you must be registered in a minimum of 6 credits (half-time status).
If you fall below a 3.00 GPA your record will be reviewed. Students having accumulated 12 or more credit hours will be placed on academic probation for one semester; students having accumulated fewer than 12 credit hours will be placed on academic probation until either (a) the GPA is raised to at least 3.00 or (b) 12 graduate credit hours are accumulated, whichever occurs first. If, at the end of the probationary period, the GPA is still less than 3.00, the student will be dismissed.Students on provisional or qualified status will be dismissed without the probation period, so it is to your advantage to meet the conditions of your admission as early as possible. Students must maintain a 3.00 GPA to be eligible for assistantships or tuition waivers.
Contact The School of Graduate Studies regarding their specific policies. The School of Graduate Studies can be reached by calling (701) 777-2784 or toll-free 800-CALL-UND ext. 2784. Or you may review their policies at their website
.
Complete the form “Request for New Advisor or Committee Appointment” and submit it to The School of Graduate Studies with the proper signatures. Refer to the Space.edu forms page to obtain this form.
Complete the form “Request for Change of Advisor or Committee Appointment” and submit to The School of Graduate Studies with the proper signatures. Refer to the Space.edu forms page to obtain this form.
After consulting with your advisor, fill out the form “Changes to a Program of Study. This will indicate which courses are to be removed, and which courses are to be added. After your advisor signs the form, submit it to The School of Graduate Studies for the Dean’s approval.
As you develop your program of study, work with your advisor on making this choice. You can petition the Dean of The School of Graduate Studies to change from a thesis option to a non-thesis option but you should have clear reasoning as to why you wish to change. Petitions may or may not be approved. Do not enroll in thesis credits until you are sure. Any changes to a transcript for previous semesters have to go through the administrative procedures committee. A permanent SP or UP for thesis credits already taken will be recorded on your transcript.
It is more common to change from non-thesis option to thesis option as students work through their program and determine their research focus.
ND residency for fee structure is not to be confused with the department residency requirement for thesis option. Students selecting the thesis option are required to spend a minimum period of time in residence during their course of study. Please check with your advisor on your particular residency requirement. Typically, online students must spend approximately one week per semester during their thesis research period. This starts with the semester in which they defend the thesis proposal. Typically a one-week visit for both your thesis proposal presentation and your thesis defense is required.
If you have finished all your courses on your program of study, you must enroll in SpSt 996 continuing enrollment (1-9 credits) to finish your independent study or thesis. Generally, only one credit of 996 is necessary, although the number of credits should be determined by the advisor to reflect the proportion of time devoted to the student’s academic study that semester. After two regular semesters of 6 to 9 credits in 996 for master’s students, and after four regular semesters for doctoral students, a student wishing to enroll in additional 996 credits will be required to petition The School of Graduate Studies Dean.
Yes, they will remain an incomplete until your final copy is finished. A grade of "SP" Satisfactory Progress, or "UP" Unsatisfactory Progress, will be assigned. The "SP" or the "UP" grade, which usually span several semesters, will be replaced by a grade at the conclusion of the activity, usually a student’s final semester. Grades of "SP" or "UP" are not calculated into term or cumulative GPA values and will be expunged from the record upon submission of final grades.
The Style and Policy Manual is available on The School of Graduate Studies website
as a PDF document.
The School of Graduate Studies will provide one format check. A list of formatters/editors is also available at the Graduate
School if you prefer to hire your own formatter.
.
After your format has been checked by The School of Graduate Studies and you have made the final changes recommended by your committee,
you will submit the final version of your document electronically to The School of Graduate Studies via UMI/ProQuest.
You will
upload your thesis/dissertation in PDF format to the ProQuest ETD Administrator site. Once you electronically submit your final copy for publishing, no changes can be made to the format or content. Therefore, the
burden of how the manuscript looks is entirely the responsibility of the student author. Complete details are available at The School of Graduate Studies’s
webpage.
You need to be advanced to candidacy the semester before you can apply to graduate. This means you need to
be on approved status (not qualified or provisional), by having your program of study and topic proposal
approved by The School of Graduate Studies. You will receive a status sheet every time one of these forms is approved by
The School of Graduate Studies. When the above requirements are met, The School of Graduate Studies will process your advancement
to candidacy and mail you a revised status sheet. They will provide instructions to apply for graduation online,
or follow the link for the application for graduation in the space studies
forms page
.
Please be aware of the deadlines, which are at the
The School of Graduate Studies website .
Please visit the UND Commencement
website.
Graduation candidates do not need to notify UND of their participation in the graduation ceremony. Organizers plan for a certain percentage of graduates to attend. Guests are welcome, and notification of their attendance is not necessary. It is recommended that online students notify the department of your intent to attend the graduation ceremony, so that they can plan accordingly.
Yes, graduate courses more than seven years old are considered obsolete and may not be counted to fulfill course requirement for an advanced degree program. Programs of study more than seven years old also are obsolete. Obsolete UND graduate courses may be revalidated and may be counted toward an advanced degree on the recommendation of the student’s faculty advisory committee and the dean of The School of Graduate Studies. Please contact your advisor for more information on the revalidation process, which generally includes a form of testing to show that your knowledge of the course is still current. Graduate work from another institution, which is overage, cannot be revalidated and will not count towards transfer to a UND degree.
Students who have previously registered for all of the necessary credits of coursework to complete
their program of study in previous semesters, MUST register for SpSt 996 Continuing Enrollment for
each additional semester that they continue on completion of their degree. See the UND academic
catalog for additional information.
Please go to the UND transcript request page
.
It will take approximately six weeks to process verification of your degree, record this information on your permanent record, and prepare your diploma for mailing. These documents will be mailed to your address listed as address type “home” in Campus Connection. Please make sure you have the correct address listed.
Online Program Questions
Yes, we expect a majority of our students will be working full-time, and studying part-time. The required chat sessions are scheduled during weekday evening hours for convenience.
It is difficult to predict how much time a student will spend on a particular class. It depends on individual skills and study habits. A typical three credit class would involve about three hours of lecture time per week, an hour long chat session, plus reading time. Add to this homework, papers, and test preparation. A reasonable estimate is that you should expect to spend 3 to 5 hours per week, per credit hour in a graduate course.
The short answer is that it depends on the student. Some may be comfortable taking two classes each semester as well as doing independent study, while others may feel one class per semester is all that their busy schedules and personal lives will allow.
All questions can be handled by our faculty and staff here. We are only as far away as your computer or phone. Academic advice will be handled by the professor teaching the course or your academic advisor. Contact Bev Fetter for general assistance.
Each Space Studies course has a website where you will find the course syllabus, assignments, collaboration and chat tools, and other important course material. Course websites are powered by the eZ Learning Management System
. Course websites are password protected and accessible only by authorized students. You must be enrolled in the course to gain access to the course website. Generally, course website access will be availableone week prior to the date of instruction for that course. Go to eZ to create an account which will enable you to request access to the classroom. Once access is granted, your classrooms will appear in your eZ control center for easy access.
Online students may purchase textbooks from the online bookseller of their
choice using the textbook requirements posted in the course description within the
class schedule.
Some courses will have recorded lectures professionally produced on DVDs that will be shipped out to the online student prior to class. Non-U.S. students may incur a shipping fee. Courses that are offered on-campus and online simultaneously will have the recorded lectures uploaded to the online classroom. Other necessary study materials, except for textbooks (see above), will be provided within the online classroom.
In most cases, additional software will not be required. A couple of courses may have an additional course fee that will cover the software required. This will be noted in the course description.
Yes, a campus visit will be required of all online students. Non-thesis track students will be on campus during the Capstone conference as part of the SpSt 595 Capstone course. This is generally during the last year of your program. Thesis track students will visit the campus as required by your thesis committee. Typically a one-week visit for both your thesis proposal presentation and your thesis defense is required.
Establishing face to face contact, though not required, is recommended early in the program. The fall Cornerstone program is an opportunity to visit campus. It is also common for our online students to visit campus at other times at their own convenience.
Yes, most courses have a required one-hour weekly chat session via the Internet. These times are posted in the course description and are available prior to registration. The scheduled times are also posted in the online classroom once you begin the semester. Chat sessions are scheduled during the weekday evening hours.
You may access your online classroom 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your instructors will set the deadlines for assignments and exams to be completed—just like they would for on-campus courses.
Most chat sessions are via eZ Chat, an IRC-based chat solution, through your course website. All of the students login to the chat session simultaneously and interact with each other by typing in text. The moderator, usually the instructor, controls the pace and the content of the session. All of the chat sessions are transcribed and put online for further reference by students.
Written examinations will be given via your online classroom. These online exams will be similar to paper exams and consist of timed multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or essay questions, depending on the instructor.
We try to make the chat sessions convenient to all students. Typically chat sessions are held between 6 and 9 pm Central time to cater to students residing in both U.S. east and west coast time zones. However, no matter how hard we try, some will probably find the time less than ideal. For example, someone may have to stay up late to participate. Students residing overseas may find it more inconvenient. Most students find that successful completion of a Graduate program does involve some sacrifice. In general, students find the conveniences of online education outweigh the inconveniences.
You can complete the required 33 credits in about two years if you take at least 5 three credit courses per year. The typical online student completes the degree in 3-4 years, as work and family commitments may not allow more than one course per semester.
Tuition and Finance Questions
Tuition and fees are due the first day of the semester. Check with Student Account Services
for payment deadlines. Unpaid tuition accounts at the deadline date will incur a late payment fee of up to $200. Unpaid tuition accounts will generate a hold on any further registrations in future semesters.
Because students have 24/7 online access to their accounts via Campus Connection, Student Account Services does not mail any paper statements or bills. Student Account Services will post a monthly e-Bill online. Students will receive an email notification to their UND email account when a new e-Bill has been posted. To view e-Bills, go to Campus Connection and select Student Center > Pay Online Now.
Students have the convenience of paying their bills online, 7 days a week from anywhere in the world. Payments may be made online through Campus Connection using e-Check or specific credit cards.The e-Check option is a fast, free, and convenient method to pay the bill directly by debiting your bank account. More information about payment options is found at the Student Account Services website .
Student Account Services must receive a letter or some form of authorization from your employer authorizing the University to bill your employer directly for your tuition and fees. This information must be submitted to Student Account Services before the posted deadline for payment for the semester, or your account will be charged the late fee. If the employer needs to see the grade you earned for the course before paying tuition, you must pay the original bill and have the agency reimburse you after grades are posted. If you have additional questions about 3rd Party Billings, you should contact Heidi Smart of Student Account Services by phone at 701-777-4701.
Yes, please visit the Student Account Services
webpage for information.
The following students are eligible for the North Dakota resident tuition rate regardless of actual state of legal residency:
Please visit the military tuition
Students are notified of their tuition waiver award via a mailed letter from The School of Graduate Studies.
Tuition waiver awards are a paperless system and “acceptance” of your award is no longer required.
However, you must notify The School of Graduate Studies if you wish to decline the award. Generally, waivers
are applied to your tuition account by the end of the first week of the semester. Be sure to notify
the Grad School and the space studies department if you will be unable to use the tuition waiver award
so that it can be transferred to another needful student.
The School of Graduate Studies will mail a physical award letter to notify you of your assistantship offer. If you accept the offer, you must sign your award letter and return it to The School of Graduate Studies---electronically is acceptable. The deadline to accept your offer is the first day of classes for the semester of the award. You must complete all payroll documentation prior to your start date---coordinate this with Bev Fetter of the Space Studies department. Finally, contact the faculty member you have been assigned to work with to schedule your work assignments and time schedule.
A 100% credit is automatically posted to your Campus Connection account ONLY during the first 9% of the semester/session for which you have dropped a class. Students will be responsible for 100% of tuition and fees charged for courses dropped after the first 9% of the semester/session. Courses can only be dropped utilizing Campus Connection. Go to Student Account Services
to view a schedule of refund allowances.Please note: A student cannot drop to zero courses on Campus Connection as this is considered a withdrawal from school. If a student wishes to withdraw from the University, he/she must contact the Registrar’s Office. Further, Campus Connection will not allow students to drop to zero courses.
The School of Graduate Studies lists financial aid resources at their webpage
. These resources include federal financial aid, The School of Graduate Studies scholarships and tuition waivers. The department of Space Studies also has funding for tuition waivers and graduate research or teaching assistantships. Visit the space.edu One-Stop webpage for further info.
