Non-Degree Students: Undergraduate Credit

Students desiring to take courses for undergraduate credit but who have not been admitted to the University as degree-seeking students may enroll in courses for undergraduate credit, subject to the approval of the Registrar. Such students must demonstrate evidence of sufficient preparation for the intended coursework. Enrollment for non-degree students is subject to space availability in the desired course section(s).

Non-degree students may take a maximum of 23 semester units of undergraduate credit as non-degree students, and are subject to the tuition rate current at the time of enrollment. Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid.

Non-degree students who later wish to apply for admission to a degree program at Dominican must submit a complete application for admission for the desired program, and must meet all admission criteria in effect at the time of application. No more than 23 undergraduate units earned by a non-degree student at Dominican may be counted toward a student’s subsequent degree program at Dominican, unless the student has obtained a special exception via an approved Academic Petition.

For further information regarding admission as a non-degree student, please contact the Registrar's Office.
