Policies & Special Cases

Non-Degree Seeking Student

An applicant who wishes to enroll in only a few classes for personal satisfaction, but who does not wish to pursue a degree, may be admitted as a Non-Degree Seeking Student . An application and application fee are required. No financial aid will be awarded. Non-Degree Seeking Students are limited to six hours of coursework each semester up to a cumulative total of 18 hours, unless granted an exception by the Registrar.

In order to go beyond 18 hours, a Non-Degree Seeking Student must be fully admitted (have transcripts sent to North Greenville University and take any required entrance tests). Upon full acceptance into a degree program, the student may request that all coursework taken as a Non-Degree Seeking Student be applied to degree requirements. The student must complete the Request for Previous Courses to be Applied to Degree form, available in the office of the Registrar. Submit the completed form to the Registrar.
Transient Student Admission

Students who are enrolled in another college or university who wish to take a limited number of courses at North Greenville University may do so as transient students.

To enroll in NGU classes, the transient student must complete a North Greenville University application, pay the application fee, and present a transient student letter. The transient student letter must list the courses to be taken at NGU, and an appropriate official at the transient student’s home institution must sign it.

No institutional financial aid is awarded to transient students.
