Non-degree admission may be approved for applicants, including High Point University master’s degree alumni, who wish to take courses without earning credit in a High Point University graduate program. Further, some courses may not be available to non-degree students and consultation with the program director prior to applying for non-degree admission is advised. Generally, students classified as non-degree are allowed to take a maximum of six semester hours.
While non-degree students may subsequently apply to pursue a degree, there is no assurance they will be admitted to a degree program. Any application to change from non-degree to degree admission must be submitted and reviewed before the end of the term in which the maximum number of allowed non-degree hours will be completed. If admitted to a degree program, time spent in non-degree status counts toward the maximum time allowed for earning a degree.
Graduate credit earned at another institution is not transferred automatically. Students in degree programs, which consider transfer credit, may submit an application for transfer of credit to the Graduate School during their first term of graduate enrollment. Students who meet the below requirements and are looking to transfer credit should email graduate@highpoint.edu for more information.
a) Must be completed at an institution accredited as degree-granting by a recognized regional accrediting body for higher education at the time the course was completed;
b) Must be appropriate for fulfilling High Point University degree requirements;
c) Must not exceed six semester hours of graduate credit;
d) Must have earned “A” or “B” for all hours being transferred;
e) Must not have been completed more than five calendar years prior to the request for transfer of credit;
f) Must be documented on an official transcript that existed in the Graduate School at the time of the original review for admission;
g) Must have been earned through regular instruction not workshops, independent study, portfolio-based experiences, and the like;
h) Must be approved by a student’s program director and the Associate Dean of the Graduate School.
