Non-Degree Students
Enhance Your Journey
Non-degree students are typically those who wish to pursue a college education for the purpose of personal growth rather than a formal degree. Some are taking one or two classes from us to fulfill degree requirements elsewhere, or they are enrolled in short-term training opportunities with us (i.e. 16-week, seven credit EMT course).
Important Information about Non-Degree Status
- Non-Degree students do not need to provide proof of high school completion or college credits. However:
- If taking more than six credits, non-degree students must provide a record of two MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) vaccinations. For more information, read catalog section 2.B.
- If taking a course that has prerequisites or placement, you must provide documentation such as previous college credit or placement scores. Check the course description here.
- Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid.
- Non-degree students who later wish to change to a degree program must furnish required supporting documentation and meet all regular admission requirements.
