What is the difference between a non-degree and a degree-seeking student?
A non-degree student is one who is not enrolled in a degree or certificate major. Non-degree students can select courses without regard to degree or certificate requirements assuming they have met the prerequisites for the course. If the prerequisites were met at a college other than Penn College, official transcripts will need to be sent to the Admissions Office for evaluation prior to enrollment. Non-degree students may register for no more than six credits per semester and are not eligible for financial aid. Students will earn credit for all coursework completed as a non-degree student. There is no application fee for a non-degree application and high school transcripts/official GED scores are not required.
