Nondegree 

Apply as a nondegree-seeking student if:

• You are taking a class for personal or professional enrichment, not to obtain a degree
• You are a student visiting from another college or university and want to transfer a KU course to your home institution
• You are a high school student who plans to take a college-level course during high school

Financial aid is generally not available for nondegree-seeking students; however, KU does provide a variety of payment options.

Nondegree Undergraduate

Students are limited to six credit hours per semester. Courses taken as nondegree-seeking do not automatically apply toward a KU degree. Check with your chosen program for more details.
