Undergraduate Non Degree-Seeking Students ONLY
The following information is for Undergraduate Non Degree-Seeking Students ONLY. You can be considered for admission as an Undergraduate Non Degree-Seeking Student if you are currently a student in good standing at another institution of higher education that is NOT part of the State University System of Florida. This is NOT the same as a Transient Student (currently enrolled in the State University System of Florida) or those seeking admission as a Senior Citizen Non-Degree Seeker [.pdf - 91kb].
Undergraduate Non degree-seeking enrollment is on a space-available basis and has been established for those individuals who do not hold a bachelor degree or higher and would like to enroll, but are not seeking a degree from FGCU. A non-refundable application fee of $30 will be applied for first-time applicants.
Non degree-seeking students are subject to the same academic policies as degree-seeking students and must adhere to deadline dates as published in the Academic Calendar. A non degree-seeking student is limited to a total of 15 credit hours of undergraduate coursework. A non degree-seeking student who has been dismissed from FGCU is not eligible for admission as a degree-seeking student. Conversely, an undergraduate applicant denied admission as a degree-seeking student may not attend as a non degree-seeking student. Non degree-seeking students are not eligible to receive university honors or with few exceptions, to receive financial aid. For more information concerning financial aid eligibility contact the office of Financial Aid and Scholarship at 239-590-7920.
Students seeking admission to a degree-seeking program may enroll as a non degree-seeking student during the time of the admissions process subject to any limitations of the chosen degree program. Performance in courses taken as a non degree-seeking student will not qualify an applicant for admission into a degree program.
