in

Some individuals may be interested in studying in a nondegree status, either through pre-college summer programs or for their own personal learning experience. If this matches your interest, please read more about the nondegree status and follow the steps to completing a nondegree application for admission.

Definition of Nondegree Student Status

A nondegree student is one who has not attended ASU as a degree-seeking student, who has not earned a bachelor's degree, who is not attending full time, and who is not, at this time, applying to a degree program.

Once admitted to a degree program, a student is not permitted to register in a nondegree status.

Nondegree students may enroll in eight credit hours each fall or spring semester, seven semester hours for each 5-week summer session, nine semester hours for the 8-week summer session, and three semester hours for winter intersession.

Nondegree students may apply up to 15 hours taken in nondegree status to a degree program if you choose to pursue an undergraduate degree in the future.

Nondegree students are not eligible for financial aid.

Nondegree students may not be eligible for academic advising.
