Nondegree Students
Prospective students may apply and be admitted as nondegree students. Admission criteria and application procedures are available through Adult Learner Services (717-560-8282).
Admission as a nondegree student is considered for one of the following four reasons:
- Anticipated Admission: The nondegree student is planning to apply as a degree student, but is uncertain as to the program or time of formal admission. A maximum of twelve (12) credits may be taken prior to admission. Credits will only apply toward the degree if they are part of the curriculum.
- Enrichment: The nondegree student is taking master level courses for personal and/or professional enrichment. A master's degree is not envisioned.
- PA School Certification: The nondegree student is applying only for Pennsylvania school certification. Application for a master's degree is not included.
- Transfer: The nondegree student is taking master level courses to transfer to his/her program at another institution. The student must supply a letter from the student's institution stating that the student is in good standing and transfer credit will be accepted.
Coursework requirements for nondegree students are the same as for degree students. Upon completion of the requirements, credit is awarded and a transcript is available.
(Nondegree students are not to be confused with audit students. Please see the section "Audit Students" for information about auditing a course.)
