A non-degree-seeking student is someone interested in taking classes for personal or professional development, but not currently seeking to obtain a degree from UMSL. Non-degree-seeking students are not required to pay an application fee or submit transcripts. To become a non-degree-seeking student, applicants must complete the application for admission. Nondegree seeking students have eligibility to enroll for 1 year. The 1 year eligibility continues every time they take a class. Non-degree-seeking students who later wish to become degree-seeking must meet the minimum transfer student requirements of 24 transferable, college-credit hours at a minimum 2.3 GPA and fill out the Degree-seeking application for admission. After the first four weeks of the semester students may no longer elect to switch from non-degree to degree-seeking. Financial aid is not available for non-degree-seeking students.
