NEW SPECIAL UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

A "special undergraduate student" is an individual without a bachelor's degree who plans to take college work that does not automatically count toward a degree at ESU. (Also, see 3rd paragraph below, items a, b, and c.)
A student under this classification may not enroll in more than ten semester hours of credit in one semester.   Any exception to this policy requires permission from the Registrar. If desired later, a student who is admitted to undergraduate study for a degree can petition to have a maximum of 12 semester hours of credit earned while enrolled as a special undergraduate student made applicable toward a degree.
Persons most frequently seeking the special student classification include the following:

• Those wishing to take a few courses for enjoyment or personal improvement.
• Students currently attending another college or university (the parent institution) and wish to earn credit at Emporia State to be counted at the parent institution.
• Persons enrolling in workshops, seminars, summer camps and summer Suzuki institutes (excluding field based courses).

Contact the Admissions Office, 106 Plumb Hall, or write to the 1200 Commercial, Campus Box 4034, Emporia, KS 66801 for more information.

Note: Special students may not receive financial aid.

NEW CONCURRENT UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

High school students who wish to take college courses may enroll in a maximum of ten credit hours in a semester.  Credit earned while enrolled as a concurrent undergraduate student may be used to fulfill ESU degree requirements upon successful completion of the high school curriculum, receiving a high school diploma and completion of the regular application for admission process. The application of all credit earned while enrolled as a concurrent undergraduate student toward fulfilling degree requirements will be determined after the student becomes a candidate for a particular degree.
