Non Degree Seeking Students

Admission Requirements for Non-Degree Seeking Students

A “non-degree seeking student” is someone who wishes to attend Calhoun Community College but does not seek a degree or certificate. Below are the steps and requirements for enrolling as a non-degree seeking student.

Complete an application for admission.
Submit an official high school transcript or GED certificate.
Submit official transcripts from all previously attended institutions.

*NOTE: If you’ve earned a Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university, you are only required to submit the official transcript from the degree-granting institution.

Conditional Admission

Non-degree seeking students may be conditionally admitted pending receipt of official transcripts.
Important: Failure to submit official transcripts by the end of the first semester will prevent future registration and release of official Calhoun transcripts.
Note: Non-degree seeking students do not qualify for federal financial aid.

Auditing a Class

An “audit student” registers for credit courses on a non-credit basis. Auditing a course means no credit will be awarded toward degree requirements. Below are the specific guidelines and requirements for students interested in auditing classes at Calhoun.

Audit students must follow the standard admission procedures outlined for first-time, transfer, or returning students.
Tuition and fees for auditing courses are the same as those for credit courses.
Federal financial aid cannot be applied to courses taken on an audit basis.
Health science courses are not available for audit, and any courses audited must meet the necessary pre-requisite requirements.

Changing Status to Degree-Seeking

Non-degree seeking students who wish to become degree-seeking must:

Meet with an academic advisor.
Complete a Request for Change of Program of Study form.
Students may not switch from “credit” to “audit” or from “audit” to “credit” after the Drop/Add period has ended for the term.

Senior Adult Scholarship Program

Senior adults aged sixty (60) years of age or older may be eligible for a tuition waiver if they qualify for the Senior Adults Scholarship Program.
