Special Students (non-degree seeking)
The Division of Continuing Education enrolls students in the course and in the university under special student
(non-degree status) unless they have been admitted to an undergraduate or graduate degree program. Undergraduate students may take as many courses under the special student
status as they wish, but most departments set a limit on the number of such credits that can be applied to a regular degree program. Graduate students may take up to 9 credit hours without being admitted. Non-degree seeking students do not qualify for student financial aid. Prior enrollment or admission to K-State is not required of students who are not pursuing a degree.
Students enrolling for graduate credit who did not receive their undergraduate degree from K-State and who have not previously enrolled at K-State must send their bachelor's degree transcript(s) directly to the Graduate School, Fairchild Hall, K-State, Manhattan, KS 66506.
