Undergraduate Admission: APPLICANTS FOR ADMISSION AS NONDEGREE STUDENTS

NOTE: This document was generated from the 1995-1997 UIUC Programs of Study. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but be advised that requirements may have changed since this book was published. Errors may have also been introduced in the conversion to a WWW document. Thus for items of importance, it might be wise to seek confirmation from either the paper version or a live human being.

Nondegree admission and enrollment are restricted to participants in special programs and to those with nondegree educational objectives that cannot be met at another institution. Permanent residents of the Champaign-Urbana area are given priority for nondegree admission. Nondegree applicants must choose one of two enrollment options:

Academic Year. Fall and spring semesters, with summers optional.

Summer Session Attendance Only. Enrollment not allowed for the fall or spring term; a separate application for admission is necessary to be considered for the academic year enrollment pattern (see Admission to Summer Session). An applicant holding a bachelor's degree who desires to take any 300-level course for graduate credit or any 400-level course must apply for graduate nondegree status, regardless of the level of other courses in which the applicant desires to enroll. A graduate applicant should complete the Application for Admission to the Graduate College and Application for Graduate Appointment form.

Nondegree Student Regulations

-- Nondegree undergraduate students are assessed tuition at the upper-division rate.

-- Enrollment is limited to part-time status (fewer than 12 credit hours of course work in any semester).

-- Course enrollment requires the approval of the department offering the course and the college of enrollment at the beginning of each semester.

-- Nondegree students may not advance enroll in classes or register by mail for fall and spring semesters.

-- Registration for the fall or spring term is not permitted until the fourth day of classes. The late registration charge will be waived for undergraduate nondegree students registering during the fourth and fifth days of classes.

-- Registration after the fifth day of classes requires the written approval of the dean of the college of enrollment.

-- The college has the privilege of terminating a continuing nondegree student's enrollment before the student's registration for any term.

-- The same grading system is applicable to both degree and nondegree students. Credit earned on nondegree status will not be applicable to a degree except by subsequent admission to degree status.

-- To be considered for degree-status enrollment, nondegree-status students must reapply for admission.

-- Nondegree students admitted to a college for summer to continue in the fall have the option of registering for summer and continuing in the fall, or registering initially for fall.

Application Documents

An applicant for admission as a nondegree student must submit the following (all credentials presented for admission become the permanent property of the University, are not subsequently released to the student or to another individual or institution, and are not held for reconsideration of admission to subsequent terms):

-- A completed application form (prospective undergraduate nondegree applicants should specifically request the Undergraduate Nondegree Admission Application).

-- A $30 ($40 for international students) check or money order (amount subject to change), payable to the University of Illinois, in payment of the nonrefundable application processing fee. The University is not responsible for cash sent through the mail.

-- A transcript showing the applicant's highest level of academic achievement, if the applicant for the academic year option has no prior credit at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

-- A transcript showing course work completed since last enrollment at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, if the applicant has prior credit on this campus.
