Non-matriculated Status: A student shall be considered non-matriculated if that student does not satisfy any of the following requirements for matriculated status:

1. The student has filed a written application for enrollment for the purpose of earning a degree or certificate in one of the College's registered degree curricula.
2. The College, having taken into account the capacity of the student to undertake a course of study and its own capacity to provide what instructional and other support the student needs to complete the program, accepts the student's application.
3. The College, in accepting the student, recognizes that student as a candidate for a degree or certificate.

Non-matriculation would include a student who is enrolled for courses solely to complete teacher certification, licensing or other external requirements, or solely for personal or cultural advancement and who is not recognized as a candidate for a degree. There is no limit on the number of courses for which a non-matriculated student may enroll.

A non-matriculated student may apply for matriculated status and may, in doing so, petition the Academic Standards Committee for authorization to have up to 18 of the credits earned as a non-matriculated student applied toward the satisfaction of the requirements for his/her degree. In no instance however, will a student be permitted to apply more than 18 credits earned as a non-matriculated student toward a degree. A course in which the student enrolled as an auditor will not, in any event, be recognized for degree credit.
