Undergraduate Visitor/Special Student Admission

Undergraduate Special Students must meet regular admission requirements to the University and are limited to nine semester hours of enrollment in this classification. University retention standards also apply to the undergraduate Special Student. A person who is admitted as a Special Student has no privileges beyond those which are available to all students. A Special Student who wishes to enroll in a course with specific prerequisites must meet those prerequisites in the same manner as any other student.

Special Students who later elect to enter a degree program will be expected to meet all of the regular requirements for that particular degree program. Special Students are urged to apply for regular (degree-seeking) admission as soon as a decision to pursue a degree has been made.

If a Special Student applies for admission to an undergraduate degree program, the work he/she has taken as a Special Student will be evaluated in the same manner as any other work submitted for evaluation. The particular degree-recommending college involved will determine how this work will apply toward the degree sought.
