ADMISSION AS A SPECIAL
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT

A Special Undergraduate Student is not a candidate for a degree; however, this classification allows one to register for an undergraduate course or courses, to obtain a grade, and to have this grade recorded in the student record file. This category is not available to regular students who currently are not in good standing at the last college attended. Admission as a Special Undergraduate Student may be granted a person if it appears that he or she may successfully engage in college work and that enrollment will be beneficial to the person and to the University. 

Admission as a Special Undergraduate Student does not guarantee enrollment in any course. After having been admitted, the student is subject to normal procedures for registering in courses. Applications for this category should be filed at least 15 days prior to the beginning of the semester in which enrollment is desired. All fees are the same as for regular students.

Admission as a Special Undergraduate Student is for only one semester. All individuals wishing to be admitted in this category should check the appropriate box for "Special Undergraduate Student" on the application for admission. The COMPASS/ASSET assessment is required for students enrolling in English or mathematics courses. Special students are not eligible for Federal and State need-based financial aid.
