Policy Statement

Students are expected to declare a degree and/or major of study prior to enrolling in classes. Those who enroll with no degree objectives are classified as non-program students.

Policy Procedures

  • Non-program students who meet the admissions requirements but have chosen not to pursue a degree are under no credit hour limit or language concurrence policy requirements.
  • Non-program students who are admitted with GPA deficiency are required to achieve the necessary GPA over nine graduate hours for the masters degrees and six graduate credit hours for the doctoral degrees.
  • Non-program students who are admitted with course deficiencies are required to achieve the specified course deficiencies in order to be admitted into a program. Deficiency courses may be taken concurrently or consecutively.
  • Nonprogram students are not eligible for federal financial aid.

Failure to follow this policy may lead to disciplinary action.
