Credit Courses For Undergraduate Students Not Seeking A Degree

Students who wish to enroll on a part-time basis (less than 12 semester hours) in undergraduate courses, who do not hold a bachelor’s degree, and who do not intend to complete an undergraduate degree, may apply for admission to Bradley as an undergraduate student-at-large. Must be in good standing at most recent institution of attendance.

Undergraduate students-at-large are subject to all University policies and regulations including academic probation and dismissal. If a student’s cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0, the student will be placed on probation. A minimum of a 2.25 grade point average will be required in succeeding semesters until the student’s cumulative grade point average is increased to 2.0 or higher.

Students who have been denied regular admission to Bradley and students dismissed from the University are not eligible to enroll as undergraduate students-at-large.

A maximum of 45 semester hours taken as an undergraduate student-at-large can be accepted toward a degree program. A student-at-large who decides to seek a degree should apply as a transfer student.

Non-degree-seeking students who already hold a bachelor’s degreeand who wish to take undergraduate courses on a part-time basis must be admitted through Graduate Education.
