Students who enroll for course work at Stevenson University are classified as either degree students or non-degree students.
A degree student is a student who is seeking a degree from Stevenson University and has been accepted by the Admissions Office as an undergraduate. An undergraduate student may enroll for course work (full-time or part-time) for each consecutive semester as long as they remain in good academic standing at the University. The typical full-time undergraduate course load is 15 to 17 credit hours per semester. Any undergraduate student who is carrying 12 or more credit hours is classified as a full-time student; less than 12 credits constitutes a part-time load.
Non-degree students are those not currently seeking a degree from Stevenson University. Non-degree students are limited to part-time status and are not eligible for financial aid. They must take fewer than 12 credits in a semester. While enrolled, non-degree students must meet the same academic standards for continued enrollment as degree students.
