SPECIAL STUDENTS
Students enrolled for academic credit who are not degree-seeking students will be classified as ―Special
Students.‖
Students who are non-degree seeking are not eligible for financial aid under federal regulations. Special
Students are usually concurrent high school students; students seeking teacher certification only; or any
students who want to just take a course for their own self-improvement or enjoyment. In order to move from
Special Student to degree-seeking student status, a student must be granted regular admit status by the Office
of Enrollment Management at least one week prior to the start date for the term in which they plan to enroll.
ADMISSION FOR THE SUMMER SESSIONS and MAY TERM
Two terms of five weeks each, in addition to a May Term, are offered in the College‘s Summer Session.
Students may enter college as freshmen or transfers during the summer by completing the entrance
requirements and the Summer Session Application.
Students attending other colleges or universities who plan to attend only the Summer Session must
complete the Summer Session Application and have it signed by the proper official of the college they attend
during the regular academic year.
Teachers who apply for Summer Session must have a valid Teacher‘s Certificate and may have their
supervisor sign the Summer Session Application in lieu of going through the formal application process.
New students (i.e., freshmen, transfers, and special students) must file the Summer Session Application
with the Office of Enrollment Management by May 20. Currently enrolled students should obtain their
summer registration forms from the Office of the Registrar. Transient students and teachers should file the
Summer Session Application with the Registrar at least one week prior to the start date for the term in which
they plan to enroll. Summer Session and May Term Applications are available from the Office of Enrollment
Management, the Office of the Registrar, and on the Registrar‘s webpage on the College website.
