NON-DEGREE SEEKING STUDENTS CAN ENROLL AT UW-STEVENS POINT

Non-degree seeking students are a diverse group broadly defined as people not currently seeking a degree and may fall into the following categories:

APPLYING TO BECOME A NON-DEGREE STUDENT

  1. Non-degree seeking students at UW-Stevens Point (excluding high school students) should fill out the UW-System Application for non-degree student admission.
  2. High School students who wish to take college courses please refer to the Early College Credit Program.
  3. The timetable of classes for each semester may be viewed online at http://www.uwsp.edu/regrec/Pages/timetable.aspx​​.
  4. Non-degree seeking students register for classes on a space-available basis. Seat availability information by course is available online.
  5. Unless they are currently attending high school, non-degree seeking students must have graduated from high school or its equivalent. Students under the age of 21 without transfer credits must meet current new freshman requirements and provide a copy of their high school transcript to demonstrate that the criteria have been met. Transfer students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher. Some record of previous academic work may be required to establish academic eligibility.
  6. Non-degree seeking students may attend summer school without establishing academic eligibility.
  7. Before enrolling in English or math courses, non-degree seeking students must take English and math placement tests. Placement tests are also required for students taking advanced foreign language courses.

  1. Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for financial aid.
  2. Non-degree seeking students do not indicate majors, and they are not assigned faculty advisors. Appointments may be scheduled with the Student Academic Advising Center if advising is needed.
  3. Non-degree seeking students have the privileges of other registered students, such as access to the Learning Resources Center, recreational facilities, health services, etc., when they obtain a valid UWSP student ID from the PointCard Office.
  4. Non-degree seeking students may change status to a degree-seeking student by completing the UW System application for admission, submitting transcripts and ACT scores (if required), and paying the application fee.
