UGS - Post Baccalaureate Category

The post baccalaureate category of the UGS program offers college graduates the opportunity to participate in the UGS program after graduation. This category applies to those students who have been awarded a bachelor's degree but have not yet been accepted and enrolled in a graduate program. Post baccalaureate students may remain in this category for one year. Post baccalaureate students are encouraged to take class(es) during this year and may move into GRA status when documentation is provided indicating acceptance into a graduate program.
