Application and Admission Process for Degree-seeking student

Parameters and limitations surrounding non-degree status:

• Students are not eligible to participate in J-Term coursework, travel experiences, internships, or research.
• Students are limited to 8 credits per semester unless they petition for a registration surplus and require the support of a unrelated, faculty member or campus employee mentor.
• Students do not have an academic advisor as they are not pursuing a program of study.
• Students do not have access to a Degree Progress (degree audit) in Aches since they have no official program.
• Students may not take coursework reserved for special programs (e.g. Engineering, Nursing, etc.) or sequenced courses where seats are reserved for degree-seeking majors.
• Students may not participate in NCAA athletics, intramurals, Greek life, or campus employment.
• Students may not participate in campus activities or join student organizations unless they are open to the public or are directly related to the coursework they are taking.  
• Students may not participate in study away experiences (unless they are a recent Augustana graduate for a summer program or is a summer student participating as a degree-seeking student from another institution with which Augustana enjoys a cooperative partnership - additional applications and parameters apply).
• Students may not live in campus housing.
• Students are not eligible for financial aid and are billed on the annual per credit rate.

• Academic Standing review is performed for all degree-seeking students. While academic standing does not impact the ability of a non-degree-student to continue enrollment, it may impact satisfactory academic progress for financial aid eligibility. All courses taken when a student is at non-degree status will always count in the overall grade point average and may impact the ability to move to degree-seeking status in the future.
