UNDERGRADUATE NON-DEGREE ENROLLMENT

Non-degree enrollment is the best choice for visiting students who wish to take a few courses for personal, professional or academic reasons.  Undergraduate Admissions does not require transcripts or any other academic documentation to process a non-degree enrollment form.

Students must have graduated from high school at least two years prior to attending TU. However, exceptions are granted if you are currently pursuing a degree at another college or university, and notifiy us.

 

Processing Time

It typically takes about a week to process a non-degree enrollment form. Once processed, the Admissions Department will e-mail you instructions on how to set up your online registration account. If you have not received an e-mail from our office within two weeks of sending in your form, please contact us at 410-704-2113 to verify receipt of the form and to check on processing status.

Registering for Courses

You are permitted to register for most undergraduate courses, providing you meet all prerequisite requirements for the course and registration is not restricted by the department. In some cases, you may need to gain enrollment permission from the professor and/or department before registration will be allowed.

Earning Credit

Although you are attending in a non-degree status, you are a student at Towson University.  The courses you take will earn credit at Towson University and the course work will appear on the TU academic transcript. Non-degree students who wish to take a course but not earn credit will need to choose the Audit grading option. However, the tuition costs are the same even if the Audit grading option is selected.

Tuition

Non-degree students are required to pay the same tuition rates as degree-seeking students. There are no discounts for courses taken with the Audit grading option.

Financial Aid

Please note that students attending in a non-degree status are not eligible for federal financial aid, including student loan programs.
