Special Studies Students
Special Studies students are those who enroll in one or more courses but do not desire to graduate from one of the established curricula. The student may register for any course which is open to all students and does not require a prerequisite. However, if a student plans to register for a course that requires a prerequisite course, the student must submit an official transcript from a regionally accredited institution showing completion of this requirement with a grade of “C” or higher prior to registering.
An applicant who plans to enroll in mathematics and/or English courses must satisfactorily meet all prerequisite/co-requisite requirements. Students may not register for courses in a program that has a waiting list or restricted admission (such as nursing).
Special Studies students are not eligible for federal financial aid. Students interested in utilizing their veterans’ benefits should contact the Financial Aid Office for program eligibility.
Students seeking to change to a degree-seeking status must complete an Application for Admissions and follow admissions procedures for the certificate, diploma, or associate degree.
