Definition of a Nondegree Student

An undergraduate nondegree (nonmatriculated) student is a student who enrolls in credit-bearing classes for personal enrichment and is not working towards a degree at Brooklyn College.

Matriculated students who are enrolled in a degree program at another university/college must submit a Visiting Student Application.

Eligibility

All nondegree applicants must, at least, have completed high school, have a GED/TASC certificate, or have the equivalence of a U.S. high school diploma.

File an undergraduate nondegree application if you:

  • have, at least, completed high school or the equivalency,
  • wish to take undergraduate courses (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 level only), and
  • are not currently enrolled as a degree (matriculated) student at another institution.

Tuition

Students enrolled in nondegree courses must pay all applicable tuition costs at the determined New York State resident or nonresident rate. See our tuition page.

Acceptance into the college does not guarantee course availability. It is the sole responsibility of the student to verify course availability. Nondegree students register for classes on a space available basis only. Nondegree students are not eligible for financial aid, scholarships, or grants.
