Non-Degree Students | Admission Requirements

Students who wish to enroll in courses pertaining to their personal interest and who have not been admitted into a degree seeking program would be considered a non-degree student.

To be admitted as a non-degree seeking student, you must:

1. Be a high school graduate or have completed the GED.
2. Understand that acceptance in this category does not constitute acceptance to a degree granting program.
3. Have sufficient educational background to qualify for the course or courses in which enrollment is sought.
4. Accept personal responsibility for the applicability of credits earned while registered in this category.
5. Understand that students in this non-degree category cannot be considered for federal or state financial aid.

Please note: A non-degree student may register for no more than 7 credits each semester and may complete a maximum of 32 semester credits at the University of Idaho. Upon completion of 32 semester credits, the student must either be admitted as a degree seeking student at the University of Idaho or submit a letter of appeal to continue as a non-degree student. Any deviations from the admission policy or credit limits need the approval of the Director of Admissions and/or the Admissions Committee. Instructor permission is required to enroll in courses numbered 500-600. Permission of the Dean of the College of Law is required to enroll in courses numbered 800-899.

If you have not yet graduated from high school or obtained a GED, you may be admitted as a non-degree student based on the dual enrollment policies of the University of Idaho.
