Non-Degree Seeking Students
Non-degree seeking student status at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø is designed for individuals who want to take one or two courses for personal enrichment, professional development, prerequisite coursework, or other educational goals without pursuing a ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø degree. Non-degree students may enroll in courses on a space-available basis and receive academic credit or audit eligible courses. Because degree-seeking students receive priority registration, course availability cannot be guaranteed. Students interested in earning a ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø bachelor's degree in the future should review our first-year, transfer, or returning student admission options before applying as a non-degree seeking student.
How to Apply as a Non-Degree Seeking Student
You may apply as a non-degree seeking student if you wish to enroll in up to two ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø courses per semester without pursuing a degree. Students seeking a second bachelor's degree should apply as full-time transfer students. We discourage students from taking courses as a non-degree student if they intend to apply later as a full-time degree-seeking student.
Note that if you already have a bachelor's degree, you are not eligible for financial aid from ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø.
Once you have received your admission decision, accept your offer through the Admit Reply Form on the applicant portal.
Some courses, particularly high-demand science and pre-medical courses, may have limited or no availability for non-degree seeking students. Degree-seeking students receive priority registration for all courses. Admission as a non-degree seeking student does not guarantee future admission to ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø as a degree-seeking student.
