Non-degree seeking applicant

Applicants planning to enroll in course(s) and not seek a degree must still meet the admission requirements and apply to the College.

Non-degree students are NOT eligible to receive federal financial aid. If you are planning to seek financial aid, you must be admitted to a degree program.
