Nondegree Admissions

The University offers nondegree enrollment for students who wish to explore undergraduate or graduate study and earn credit before they are formally admitted to a degree program, and for visiting students from other institutions. Academic requirements may change over time so that courses completed in the nondegree status may not be applicable to the program chosen at the time of matriculation. Nondegree students are not eligible for most types of financial aid.

Undergraduate Nondegree Students

Temporary nondegree status is available for students who wish to explore new subject areas before entering a degree program or earn credit prior to formal admission. This is also an option for visiting students from other colleges and universities who satisfy admissions requirements. Students may enroll in a maximum of 36 credits under nondegree status. Advising and registration of nondegree students takes place in the Colleges.

Permission to register requires proof of high school graduation or its equivalent. Continuing registration requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.000 in courses taken at the University. Nondegree students must satisfy published course prerequisites and may be required to submit official transcripts as proof of appropriate preparation. Advising of nondegree students is provided through the colleges.
