"Non-degree student" is a classification reserved for the student interested in enrolling at Augusta State University for credit without pursuing a college degree. The non-degree student may be a transient student (see above), or a special student. A special student is not a degree candidate at Augusta State University or at another educational institution. A candidate for this type of limited enrollment seeks instruction in particular courses for personal or professional purposes. This classification may include post-baccalaureate, post-graduate, and audit students.

If you hold a baccalaureate degree or graduate degree from a regionally accredited college and wish to enroll in undergraduate courses as a non-degree student, then you must request that an official transcript be sent to the admissions office from the college or university which awarded the highest degree.

Each applicant for admission as a special student must (1) file a completed application form, (2) provide evidence of satisfactory past academic work at the secondary or post-secondary level, and (3) satisfy all other admission requirements as determined by the Office of Admissions.

If you have attended any other college or university since your last enrollment at Augusta State University, regardless of how long you have been away from ASU, you must re-apply through the Office of Admissions. In addition, you must provide the Office of Admissions with official transcripts of all college work attempted since your last enrollment in Augusta State University. Failure to provide required transcripts may result in loss of credit or dismissal from Augusta State University.

If you have not enrolled in Augusta State University, or attended any other college or university, for four consecutive semesters, you must apply for readmission through the Office of the Registrar at least 30 days before the desired semester of re-entry. In order to determine degree requirements as a returning student, see the entry for "Graduation Requirements" in the "Academic Handbook" section of this catalog.

Augusta State University and Paine College offer co-enrollment for students who want courses that are not offered at the student's home institution during a given semester or for students who have schedule conflicts that may be resolved by co-enrollment.

If you are enrolled at one institution for the equivalent of at least six semester hours of course work you may enroll for three or more semester hours of course work at the other institution. Courses for co-enrolled students are offered on a space-available basis, after the registration period for Augusta State University students.
