Special Students are those students who are not matriculating for a degree but who wish to enroll for specific courses. They may be full- or part-time and may or may not have a baccalaureate degree. After completing 29 hours, special students must apply to the Office of Admission and be formally admitted to a course of study in order to continue to take classes.

Part-Time Students are those students who register for fewer than 12 hours in a semester or fewer than six hours in a summer session. Part-time students may not live on campus or represent the University in extracurricular activities. Their tuition charges and fees are based on the number of credit hours undertaken.
