Distributed Learning for Non-Degree Applicants

Students who do not intend to earn a degree at AIU (or who have not yet fulfilled necessary requirements for admission into a degree program) may apply to be Special Status Non-Degree students. A student who is classified as Special Status Non-Degree need not necessarily meet the admission requirements for a degree program, but maybe requested to submit supporting documentation. From this admission status a student may apply for full admission to the University through the regular admission process. If the student becomes a degree-seeking student, a maximum of 12 semester units (undergraduate) earned while in the Special Status Non-Degree category may be applied toward a degree program.

Special Status Non-Degree students are not eligible for financial aid or institutional aid.* In cases where class space is limited, degree-seeking students will have enrollment priority.

*An I-20 may not be issued to international students for the Special Status Non-Degree category. International Student are not eligible for Special Status unless they have special permissions for the Department.

To view the courses that are offered online, see the Alliant International University Online Catalog. Choose Virtual as your campus.
