Non-degree status provides the opportunity for students to take courses or special programs for credit without formal admission or matriculation into the University.
Students may apply for enrollment under non-degree status if they do not pursue a degree but intend to have credits received from the University transferred elsewhere, or desire to take courses for personal enrichment only.
Important Requirements and Information about the Non-Degree Program:
All Non-Degree applicants must have graduated from high school. (Does not apply to the Malibu High School Partnership Program)
Admission for non-degree work is for one term only.
The Non-Degree application (see link below) and all supporting documents must be received by the Office of Admission no later than two weeks prior to the start of classes for the term requested.
Admission decisions for the non-degree program will be sent out on a rolling basis, as files complete.
Non-Degree students may not register until the first day of classes thereby selecting from the classes which remain open after the fully enrolled students have registered. Non-degree students may not advance register.
Non-Degree students will receive a transcript of their completed classes (with letter or pass/fail grades) and pay the full unit charges.
