Nondegree Enrollment

Nondegree Student Information
A student who does not wish to or is not ready to pursue a degree program but desires to take credit courses may be qualified to enroll as a nondegree student. Nondegree students may register for any university course for which they have the necessary academic background and qualifications. Many students begin their studies in nondegree status and apply the credit they have earned toward a degree program in one of the schools or colleges of the university.

Instructions for Enrollment as a Nondegree Student
Complete our Nondegree Enrollment Application (pdf) and return it to the Academic Advising Office, Battelle-Tompkins 100, American University,
4400 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC, 20016-8012. If you have any questions regarding the enrollment process, call us at (202)885-2453.

International Nondegree Student Enrollment
International nondegree students must present evidence of successful completion of high school (or equivalent) and courses taken in any colleges or universities attended. Nondegree international students who apply for admission to a degree program must request that official documents be sent directly to the Undergraduate or Graduate Admissions office.

Admission from Nondegree Status
Students wishing to transfer from nondegree status at American University to graduate degree status must submit a formal application for admission to the Graduate Admissions office. If a student is accepted into a graduate degree program, up to 12 credit hours of graduate-level course work completed in nondegree status may be applied to a graduate degree program, or up to 21 credit hours earned in a completed graduate certificate program.

The following students ordinarily may not register in nondegree status:

  • Students currently enrolled as undergraduate- or graduate-degree students in any of the member institutions of the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area.
  • American University students who have not completed their degree programs.
  • Students who have been dismissed from American University or another college or university within the previous twelve months.
