Non-Degree Students
Non-degree enrollment status is designed for students who wish to take courses for personal enrichment or other reasons but do not plan to pursue a degree. Non-degree students receive a discounted community tuition rate. However, they do not qualify for financial aid.
Application Process
Students may apply for non-degree enrollment at any time through our application portal. Enrolling as a non-degree student does not require formal admission to the university, but there are a few steps to get through the registration process.
To explore course options for online or in-person classes, contact admissions@bushnell.edu. When you know what class(es) you’d like to take, please submit the free, short application through our website as a non-degree student.
Registration Information
After submitting your application, a member of our admissions team will contact you to discuss next steps. Once your registration is confirmed, you will receive an email containing your Bushnell ID and other important information/next steps.
Non-degree students may be asked to provide transcripts from previously attended colleges/universities in order to verify the satisfactory completion of past coursework prior to enrolling in certain courses at Bushnell.
