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.
