Non-degree Seeking Students Admission Requirements

Acceptance into JIU is required whether you are in a degree program, earning certification or taking individual courses. The application process is simple and easy, even for those who just want to take courses for their personal enjoyment or professional development.

Students may choose to enroll into an individual course(s) program as a non-degree seeking student.  These students are allowed to take a maximum of ten courses at the undergraduate level or three at the masters level.  If, after this point, a student wishes to continue taking courses, s/he must enroll into a certificate or degree program.  Students may not take MEd K-12 or doctoral courses in the individual course program.  Financial aid is not available to these students.
