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 would include those students who have received a bachelors degree and are wanting to take additional undergraduate courses as well as students with no degree but taking undergraduate courses for credit. Regular students who currently are not in good standing at the last college attended can not be admitted as a special student. 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 30 days prior to the beginning of the semester in which enrollment is desired. All fees are the same as for regular students.

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.
