Non-degree Information and Requirements
What is Non-Degree?
Non-degree is an academic term for "not formally accepted into a degree program." It is a great way to start your college career or to gain personal and professional growth. As a non-degree student, you take the same courses as everyone else, and you earn the same college credit.
- In summer or winter terms you are limited to taking 7 credits per term.
- You may schedule up to 9 graduate credits of coursework on a non-matriculated basis
- You are expected to meet the minimum GPA required for graduate coursework
- Many courses and programs require permission from the department or instructor prior to enrollment
- Adult students may attempt a total of 18 credits (usually about six courses) as a non-degree student, no more than 9 credits in a fall or spring semester.
General Information
The "Non Degree Online Application" will allow you to apply for summer or winter terms when it is appropriate to schedule classes for those terms. It will also have options for adult students to apply for Fall/Spring terms as non degree when the scheduling time is appropriate.
Here are a few important points for you to know before you submit your non degree application:
