A special student is a student from the community qualifying for regular admissions who desires to take a limited number of courses at the college without declaring a major field of study. The special student is limited to 6 credits of classes in any one semester and a maximum of 30 accumulated credits before he is required to declare a major. A nondegree student is exempt from taking ENG 101 and 102 and SPC 101 and 102.
A student who has already completed a bachelor’s degree and wishes to earn additional undergraduate credit for his own enrichment may also qualify for special student status. This student would not be limited to 6 credits per semester or 30 accumulated credits.
In order to be considered for special student status, a student must follow the same admissions procedures as a regular student and must submit a request in writing to the Academic Committee.
