Single Course Enrollment

Special Students

Not ready to enroll in a degree program? You can enroll as a Special Student for single course enrollment. You may enroll in a single course rather than a full degree for personal enrichment, to apply toward a certificate, if you plan on transferring the course to another institution, or if you want to start a course(s) while the admission process is completed.

As a special student you

• Must meet prerequisites for courses. You may be asked to provide an unofficial transcript to show prerequisites.
• Are not obligated to follow specific degree requirements.
• Are not eligible for financial aid.
• May be admitted to a degree program after completing the admission process and any in-progress coursework. Check program requirements for more information.
