Completed Coursework Credential and Degree Pursuit Option

Simply completing non-degree coursework does not constitute an application for a degree program, nor does it guarantee admission.
If you are interested in applying for a future term, visit our admissions page for requirements and deadlines.
If you intend to transition to a formal academic degree program of study (degree or certificate) you MUST submit a separate, formal admissions application through the Admissions Office.
If you need documentation about your completed coursework, you must order an official academic transcript; visit http://www.getmytranscript.com
