How to Apply and Enroll
If you took a class at UNL in the past year, you are eligible now to register through MyRed: https://myred.nebraska.edu. If you are NOT an active graduate student at UNL currently (active meaning you have taken a course in at least one of the past three semesters and have not recently graduated), you will need to apply to UNL as a graduate student first before you can register. Here is a link to the admission application: https://go.unl.edu/gradapp. You can apply as a non-degree-seeking, post-baccalaureate student without declaring a master's program, so search for “post” in the program selection step. Once admitted to UNL, please log in to http://go.unl.edu/gradappstatus to complete the decision form, and within 1-2 business days you should then be able to enroll via MyRED.
