Non-Degree Students

Students may enroll in coursework at Bradley University without being admitted to regular undergraduate or graduate programs. For students wishing to receive regular course credit, this type of enrollment is called “Non-Degree Seeking” enrollment and is subject to a special admission process. Students may also take advantage of Bradley’s non-credit offerings by enrolling in Continuing Education Programs.

Non-degree seeking students are billed at the standard Bradley University tuition rate. Please note that discounted online tuition rates, scholarships, and other forms of financial aid are not available for non-degree seeking students. Tuition and fees are assessed per credit hour based on the university’s current undergraduate or graduate tuition schedule. If you are considering taking a course as a non-degree seeking student, we recommend reviewing the current tuition and fee schedule and contacting the Student Financial Services office for additional information.

Undergraduate Non-Degree Seeking Admission

Students who wish to enroll in undergraduate-level coursework for credit without regular admission to an undergraduate degree program are classified as Undergraduate Non-Degree Seeking. You should apply for this status regardless of your prior educational background if you wish to earn credit for any undergraduate level courses taken at Bradley. Undergraduate Non-Degree Seeking students must complete the following admission process:

Submit a completed Application for Non-Degree Seeking Admission.
Submit official transcripts or letters of good standing from all previous and current institutions of attendance.
Meet all prerequisite coursework for the classes they wish to take.
High school students and international students must meet additional requirements described on the application.

Undergraduate Non-Degree Seeking students are ineligible for Federal Student Aid and State Aid. A maximum of 45 semester hours taken as an Undergraduate Non-Degree Seeking student may be applied to undergraduate degree programs.

Applications for the January Interim and Spring Semester must be submitted by December 10.
Applications for all other academic terms must be submitted at least two weeks before the start of the planned academic term.

Graduate Non-Degree Seeking Admission

This admission status is for applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree and are not currently seeking a graduate degree or certificate from Bradley University. Non-Degree Seeking graduate students may register for graduate or undergraduate level courses, but will only be awarded credit/grades for graduate level coursework. Applicants must meet the GPA requirements as listed for admission; exceptions for Non-Degree Seeking students may be made at the discretion of Graduate Admissions.

Non-Degree Seeking graduate students must submit an application for graduate admission, application fee, and official transcripts. Admission as a Non-Degree Seeking student does not guarantee enrollment in a course. Students who do not meet specific course prerequisites may be dropped from courses.
Students studying on a visa who wish to enroll as a Non-Degree Seeking graduate student must also meet the additional requirements for international students, including English language proficiency.
Admission as a Non-Degree Seeking graduate student does not constitute admission to a degree program. A Non-Degree Seeking graduate student who wishes to apply to a degree program must meet all requirements for admission to that program. A maximum of nine (9) semester hours with grades of B or better earned as a Non-Degree Seeking graduate student may be applied toward a degree or certificate program, with approval of the program’s graduate coordinator.
Applications must be submitted in accordance with the application deadlines identified by Graduate and International Admission.
