An individual with at least a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution who is not seeking a graduate degree may take graduate level courses and enroll as a non-degree student.
Non-degree students must:
- Submit an application for admission to the Office of Admissions;
- Submit an official transcript showing the earned undergraduate/graduate coursework to the Office of Admissions; and,
- Pay the $50 dollar application fee.
A student wishing to change from non-degree status to a degree program must file a new application for admission and adhere to all requirements specified for degree-seeking students. International students with an F-1 student visa are not eligible to enroll as non-degree status.
Credits earned while in non-degree status are not applicable to a degree program. If a non-degree student is later accepted into a degree or certificate program, the faculty advisor will determine if credit earned while in non-degree status may be applied to the proposed degree/certificate program.
In accordance with federal regulations, non-degree students are not eligible to receive federal financial aid. There are exceptions to the non-degree requirements in regard to federal financial aid. A student can receive limited federal aid as a nondegree student based on the following criteria:
- Student is required to take courses considered preparatory coursework for admission into a Master’s degree program;
- Student is required to take courses for teacher certification or recertification.
