What is a "non-degree student"?

Non-degree students are those who enroll in 11 semester hours of coursework or less per semester and who are not seeking an academic degree from Saint Martin's.

They may enroll without formal admission to the University, but the maximum course load permitted in any one semester is 11 semester hours. They may enroll for as many terms as desired for the purpose of educational enrichment or transfer of courses to another institution. However, they must meet all prerequisites for the classes taken. A
non-degree student may become a degree student by applying for and being granted formal admission to Saint Martin's University.
Application for regular admission must be made prior to the student's completion of the last 32 semester hours required for a degree at Saint Martin's.

For admission as a degree student, a non-degree student must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher, with at least 30 semester hours of officially approved coursework.
No special admission procedure is required for occasional workshops or short-term courses.
