Information
and Policies for
Non-Degree Undergraduate (NDU)
Students
What does "NDU" mean?
The non-degree
undergraduate (NDU) admission
status allows learners to enroll in courses without seeking a degree at the
College.
Non-degree students are
eligible to receive most of the same campus services as degree students.
There
are three types of non-degree undergraduate students:
· Visiting Students –
students pursuing a degree at another accredited college or university
who wish to earn credit at Oneonta and transfer it back to their home
institution
· Pre-matriculated
Students – students who
eventually wish to pursue a degree at Oneonta or another institution and
have not yet been admitted to a degree program
· Life Long Learners - students who take courses for personal enrichment and do not intend to
pursue a degree at Oneonta or another institution
· High School
Students – students who
are still currently enrolled in high school who have completed or are in the process of completing their Regent's requirements and have the recommendation of their guidance counselor and principal may be eligible to take courses at Oneonta.
Note: Students who previously
attended SUNY Oneonta as a degree-seeking student should contact the
Academic Advisement Office, Netzer 100 for information on
readmission to the College.
