Visiting and Non-Degree Students

Southern welcomes students year-round to study as visiting non-degree seeking students. Visiting and non-degree seeking students with a prior bachelor's degree or higher are considered graduate non-matriculated students and the following policies apply:

• Students are eligible to register part-time only (less than 9 credits) in the fall and spring semester.
• Students must meet any course prerequisites needed to register; however, departments may restrict  non-matriculated students from registering in certain courses.
• All courses are applied to the graduate transcript.
• All students are subject to the academic policies of the university.
• All courses are billed at the graduate rate.
• Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid or on-campus housing.
• A maximum of 9 credits completed as a non-matriculated student may be applied to a graduate program, or at the department’s discretion, up to 25 percent of the total credits for programs requiring 36 credits or more.
