Non-Degree Students

Adult Undergraduate Students

Admission as a non-degree seeking undergraduate student requires submission of the following:

  1. Special Application for Non-Degree Status form.
  2. College transcripts. At the time of registration, students who wish to take a course that has a pre-requisite must submit a college transcript verifying successful completion of the pre-requisite course.

Non-degree students must take fewer than 12 credits in a semester and are not eligible for financial aid.

A non-degree student may become a degree student by applying for and being granted formal admission. Application must be made prior to the student's enrollment in the last 30 semester hours of academic credit required for a degree at Stevenson University. In addition, the last 30 semester hours of academic credit must be completed at Stevenson University unless a waiver is granted in writing by the Dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies. For admission as a degree student, a non-degree student must meet the same criteria as a transfer student.

A student denied admission as a degree student may enroll as a non-degree student only with the approval of the Dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies.

Graduate Students

A student may enroll in graduate courses without seeking a graduate degree. Such students must complete a special application for non-degree status which must be approved by the Dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies. The criteria for admission are the same as those for degree-seeking students. Not more than six credits may be taken while under this status. Financial aid is not available for non-degree seeking students. After six credits, students must apply for admission to continue.
