Nondegree admission


Students who would like to enroll in courses but do not plan to seek a degree from Webster may request approval to take courses at the University as a nondegree student. Nondegree students receive college credit for the successful completion of their courses.

They must meet all the requirements for admission that degree-seeking students must meet and are expected to fully participate in the class in which they are enrolled.
