Announcements

NDS students enrolling for the Spring 2012 semester will be subject to the new NDS rule. Some important changes have been implemented under this rule:

  • NDS students are limited to a total of 30 hours of credit in NDS status. Students with 29 hours attempted will be allowed to register for the next term even if their enrollment in that future term will exceed the 30 hour limit, but they will not be activated for any subsequent terms once they have hit (or exceeded) the 30 hour limit.
  • NDS students must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA at all times. Failure to do so will render a student ineligible to continue as an NDS student.

UPDATE: The Spring 2012 Non-Degree Studies Application is CLOSED. The application for Summer and Fall 2012 will open on February 13th.

Non-Degree Studies Program

The Non-Degree Studies (NDS) Program is administered by the Department of Registration and Records and provides individuals who have not matriculated into a degree program access to credit courses at NC State University on a part-time basis.

Through Non-Degree Studies, individuals can take up to 30 total hours of undergraduate or graduate courses to:

  • Meet NC State University admission requirements
  • Transfer credits to another university
  • Update professional skills
  • Enrich personal experiences

Students enrolled in Non-Degree Studies may register for a maximum course load of 2 courses + a Physical Education per semester on a space available basis. Students may choose from any On Campus and/or Distance Education courses. All course work carries degree credit.

A non-refundable application processing fee of $25 is required with each application.

Admission to NDS does not imply admission to an undergraduate or graduate degree program.

If you have been previously admitted and enrolled into a DEGREE-SEEKING PROGRAM and wish to readmit into that program, you are not eligible for Non-Degree Studies.  Please visit the Readmission into Degree-Seeking Programs information page for more information.

Please note: NDS applications are good for a full year. For example, if you apply for Summer I, you do not need to submit a separate application for Summer II, Fall, or Spring.

Please select the category for Non-Degree Studies that applies to you and fill out the application:
