Admission And Application For Non-Degree Students
Permission to study in the School of Education and Human Development as a non-degree student in the Divisions of Education or Human Development is granted to any applicant who presents satisfactory evidence of having completed undergraduate and/or graduate work in a satisfactory manner, or who has received a bachelor's or higher degree from an accredited institution. Undergraduates who left school in good academic standing may be admitted to the university as non-degree undergraduate students by undergraduate admissions.
Students admitted in non-degree status may register for School of Education and Human Development courses (limited spaces available) at registration. Students who fail to register for more than three consecutive semesters, excluding summer, are not allowed to take courses until they have been readmitted.
Applications for admission may be obtained from the Graduate Admissions Office or the Undergraduate Admissions Office. An official transcript from the college granting the bachelor's degree must be submitted to the Graduate Admissions Office, or undergraduate course transcripts to Undergraduate Admissions. General advising for students wishing to pursue degrees in the School of Education and Human Development may be obtained by contacting the academic advisor at 777-6305.
If a student later decides to pursue a degree program,
a regular application may be obtained from the Graduate Admissions Office.
If the student is admitted to the Graduate School, an evaluation by the
department of the graduate courses that were taken on a non-degree basis
should be requested. In this way those courses found suitable may be officially
credited toward the student's degree. Non-degree undergradu ates who decide
to pursue a degree program must make formal application through the Undergraduate
Admissions Office.
