Admission of Non-Matriculating Students

Students may request to enroll in Arts and Sciences courses at Labouré College of Healthcare as a non-matriculating [or non-degree seeking] student. A student may want to take a course for personal and self-enriching reasons, to satisfy a prerequisite course needed for a program they are enrolled in at another institution or a program they intend to enroll in, or for continuing education and professional reasons. Classes are based on a seat availability basis determined by the Registrar.

Students who meet the Labouré College of Healthcare admissions requirements may enroll in courses to meet educational goals other than attaining a degree, certificate, or certification. Students who wish to take courses for self-enrichment must provide appropriate educational verification.

Non-matriculating (non-degree, non-certificate, non-certification) students are those who are taking courses to achieve special professional goals or personal enrichment. A student can be defined as:

A student who does not have a degree and is seeking self-enrichment
A student who is enrolling with the purpose of taking courses as prerequisites for another degree, certificate, or certification
A student who is enrolled in another institution and is taking courses with the purpose of transferring credits back to their home institution

Students must declare an intention to matriculate into a degree, certificate, or certification program once four courses have been completed. An application for matriculation must be filed with the Admissions Office at that time. If accepted as a matriculating student, credits earned as a non-matriculating student will be evaluated toward the degree, certificate, or certification program. Students should be aware that credits taken prior to matriculation may not be applicable to current program requirements.
