Admission of Non-Degree Students
Students who do not wish to pursue a full degree but instead want to take one or more courses independently, or apply to a program required for a certificate (either for credit or as an auditor), can apply for admission as a non-degree student.
Students who have not received a bachelor’s degree or higher apply as an Undergraduate Non-Degree Seeking Student. Undergraduate non-degree seeking students may take up to nine credits, either concurrently or over time. If full acceptance to a bachelor’s degree program is later granted, these credits may be counted toward degree requirements.
If students have received a bachelor's degree or higher they will need to apply as a Graduate Non-Degree Seeking student.
All non-degree admission decisions are made on a rolling basis, and students are reviewed for admission by the faculty of the school to which they are applying. Applicants are then informed of their decision via email sent from the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
A non-degree student who wishes to be considered for admission to a degree program must submit the application and supporting documents ordinarily required for admission to the Office of Undergraduate Admission and should consult with the appropriate dean or chair of department before enrolling, since the mere accumulation of courses will not satisfy requirements for degrees.
