Students who do not intend to work for a master’s degree or who have missed the degree seeking deadline may file an application for non-degree-seeking status under the following regulations:

1.       Applicants who have not earned a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution cannot be admitted.

2.       Applicants must demonstrate special competence in major area, including an audition for applied (performance) majors.

3.       Applicants refused admission as degree-seeking students may not enroll as non-degree-seeking students.Non-degree-seeking status may be terminated at any time by the associate dean. Non-degree-seeking students who plan to register for or who accumulate a substantial amount of credit are advised to become degree-seeking students. Only the first 12 quarter hours earned as a non-degree-seeking student at DePaul may subsequently be applied toward a degree when the student is accepted as a degree-seeking student.
