How to Get Started

  1. Choose Your Class

    Visit the course schedule to narrow down the class or classes you wish to take. Feel free to leave the session set to all or specify one if you know when you want to take class. Choose a category (i.e. course subject) and then your level (undergraduate or graduate).

  2. Gather All the Important Details

    Within our course schedule tool, use the + sign to expand the information on each course. Then select the "Additional Course Details" button. Make sure you document or print the following information for your current institution or licensing board.
    • Prerequisites (if any are specified)
    • Course objectives
    • Course materials or books
    • Previous syllabi
    • Session date
  3. Talk to Your Current Institution or Licensing Board

    Your current institution or licensing board will need a copy of the information you gathered in step 2 to determine if you will be able to transfer our course back and earn the credit you desire. Start a conversation with an advisor at your current institution or the licensing board once you have all the course information ready.

  4. Apply

    Now you're ready to enroll and complete our application. Our university has open enrollment and there is no cost to apply. Since you are looking to take individual classes only, you need to specify that when you select your academic program. You will choose either "Undergraduate Non-Degree Seeking" or "Graduate Non-Degree Seeking" depending on the level of the class you plan to take. It will then show you as "Undergraduate Courses for Transfer" in our School of Arts, Humanities & Education. Don't worry if that school is different than expected. That is simply what appears when enrolling for individual classes. 

    After you submit your admissions application, review the undergraduate or graduate admissions ecampus tutorial for non-degree seeking students.

    Note about payment options: While federal student aid (FSA) cannot be used for individual classes, there are other options available to help cover the cost, including our military grant, payment plan options, no-cost materials, etc.
