Standards for Nondegree-seeking Students

If you are applying for admission solely to take courses of interest, applying for nondegree-seeking status is a convenient option. Nondegree-seeking status simply requires that you have a high school diploma or a GED. As a nondegree-seeking student during fall and spring semesters, you can register for any combination of courses totaling 7 or fewer credits, or a maximum of 2 courses, even if these courses total more than 7 credits. Any credits that you earn as a nondegreeseeking student are applicable toward earning a degree. Please be aware that nondegree seeking students pay part-time fees; those deemed nonresidents of Idaho pay additonal per-credit nonresident tuition. Also, nondegree-seeking students are not eligible to receive federal financial aid. Students who were dismissed from any college or university within the last semester are ineligible for nondegee-seeking status.
