Non-Candidate For Degree Students (NCFD)
Applicants who have not been enrolled in high school or college for five years or more or who already have bachelor's degrees and wish to take additional coursework may be considered for NCFD admission.
Am I a Non-Candidate for Degree (NCFD) student?
- If you have already earned a bachelor's degree and are interested in taking a few classes for personal enrichment, continuing education, or teacher's certification; you are considered a NCFD student.
- If you have been out of high school or college for five or more years and are not eligible to be admitted as a Freshman or Transfer student, you may apply as a NCFD. Admitted NCFD students interested in becoming degree-seeking, must complete 12 or more credits with a grade of C or better to be considered for degree-seeking status.
