A student who is not enrolled in a degree or certificate major. Non-degree status is specifically for students who wish to pursue coursework with neither the responsibilities nor the benefits of degree status. A non-degree student can select courses without regard to degree or certificate requirements, assuming all course prerequisites have been met. A non-degree student may register for no more than seven credits per semester (or two classes) and is not eligible for financial aid. If and when a non-degree student wishes to transfer to degree-seeking status, the rules in effect for degree-seeking applicants will apply.
