You can enroll in GEO441 if DePaul admits you as a student. If you are not following a degree program at DePaul, please contact the Office for Admissions to find out the status that best suits your needs. This would likely be as a student at large or non-degree student. For more information visit the Admission & Aid site, where you can submit your application on-line after you create an account. Check the option to apply as a non-degree seeking student.  You should hear back from DePaul within a few days after you submit the application.

This is possible and may be arranged with the faculty member teaching the course. You may be able to bring your own topic or project in completing one of the course requirements, namely that which centers on developing and implementing a GIS project for community development.
