In order to apply for admissions as a non-degree-seeking student you must follow these steps:

1. Submit a completed an Application for Non-Degree Admission to Recruitment and Admissions.
2. Send all required credentials:
   
   
   • If you are currently enrolled in a degree program elsewhere you must submit a signed statement of good standing from your home institution. (IMPORTANT: If you are planning to use the credits in your home institution, please verify with them first if the course is transferable.)
   • If you are a high school graduate seeking personal/professional enrichment, you must submit a high school transcript, a copy of your high school diploma, or the GED test results.
   • If you are a college graduate seeking teacher certification, you must submit proof of graduation from a regionally accredited school in the form of either a College transcript or a copy of college diploma.
   • If you have earned college credits (not currently enrolled)/ or if you are a college graduate seeking personal/professional enrichment, you must submit proof of graduation from a regionally accredited school in the form of College transcript or copy of college diploma.

Please note that application procedures to some certificate programs differ from the non-degree application procedure described above in that additional credentials may be required. (See specific school or program for details.) Also, please note that not all programs admit non-degree students. In general, international students are not eligible for non-degree study.

A student who wishes to take credits at Barry University for the purpose of transferring these credits back to another institution in which they are enrolled is considered a "guest" student at Barry. In order to apply as a guest student, you must submit an Application for Non-degree Admission, and present a letter from the dean or department chair of the institution in which you are enrolled as a degree-seeking student, stating that you are in good standing.

If in the future you wish to change you status from non-degree-seeking to degree-seeking you must complete the required online application and meet all requirements for degree-seeking applicants of the appropriate school and program. Enrollment as a non-degree-seeking student in no way implies admission to a degree program. Please do not hesitate to contact an admission counselor if you have any questions.
