A non-matriculating student is defined as a student who is not a candidate for a degree. The number of courses or credits taken per semester does not affect this status. To be admitted as a non-matriculating student, an applicant must meet the regular entrance requirements and prove himself/herself qualified to pursue the studies concerned. High school students that are taking classes as part of the Dual Degree Program are considered under this category. A non-matriculating student is subject to the same academic regulations and expectations as a matriculating, degree-seeking student. However, the student is given no class rating and is not eligible for academic honors. The University reserves the right to limit the number of courses to be taken. A nonmatriculating student is charged at a per-credit rate, plus additional fees as determined by the Business Manager. Special student applications are available in the Office of Admissions. Financial Aid is not available for special students.
