Non-Degree Study

The College offers a limited opportunity for students to take undergraduate courses on a non-degree basis. This option is not available to students who attended another school (either high school or college) within the past three years and who are not able to meet the admission standards of the College. Non-degree students normally are required to apply for admission into a degree program before completing eight course units at The College of New Jersey. However, those who are taking courses for personal reasons may be permitted to exceed this limit if they formally notify the academic affairs office of their intention not to pursue a degree. When non-degree students apply for entry into a degree program, they follow the application procedures for transfer students and must meet the same grade point average requirements.
