Admissions: Non-Degree Seeking Undergraduate

Admission as a non-degree seeking student requires that the student submit a non-degree seeking student application to the office of undergraduate admission if they do not have a bachelor’s degree. A $50.00 application fee is required, as well as relevant transcripts, and other requested documents prior to their initial registration. If a non-degree seeking student wishes to register for courses in business, nursing, engineering, education, or for upper-division courses in the College of Arts and Sciences, then evidence of adequate preparation for the desired courses will be required. Credits earned while in the non-degree student classification may but do not necessarily apply toward requirements for a degree should a student later be accepted into a degree program.

Non-degree student status at the undergraduate level requires that the student reapply prior to each term. In no case is a student allowed to accumulate more than 15 semester hours or to be enrolled for more than two semesters, and, any such student who accumulates 15 semester hours or two semesters is required to seek regular admission to a degree program in keeping with procedures determined by the Office of Admissions.
