Non-matriculated Students
A student who takes classes in a major department but is not enrolled in a degree program at the University of the Arts.

Non-matriculated status provides opportunity to pursue college-level instruction for those who have earned a high school diploma (or equivalent) or beyond, or for others who receive permission of a department, division, or school to enroll in a specific course. Non-matriculated study is a great way to study with a specific professor, brush up on a topic, or learn something new.

Non-matriculated students may enroll for a maximum of 11.5 credits per semester and may not audit any classes.

In some cases, credits earned by non-matriculated students may be used later toward a degree program at the University of the Arts with permission of the department responsible for that program. Non-matriculating students who are simultaneously enrolled, or have plans to enroll at another institution, may be eligible to transfer credits to that institution. Acceptance of those credits for transfer is subject to the approval of the other institution.

To enroll as a non-matriculated student, please contact the Office of the Registrar. Non-matriculated students must request permission from the department chairperson or director for each course in which they wish to enroll. Please be advised that there are no payment plans or financial aid opportunities for non-matriculated students, and access is depended upon published course restrictions, prerequisites and the availability of space in the desired course. Non-matriculated students are otherwise governed by all the rules and regulations that apply to matriculated students, including the submission of official high school or University transcripts, prior to enrollment. Transcripts that are hand-delivered must be received in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution.

Readmission
Written appeal for reinstatement as a degree candidate requires submission of a completed readmission form and a $50.00 readmission fee. Requests for readmission are reviewed and considered by the admitting dean, departmental representative, and appropriate administrative offices and can take up to four weeks for processing. The major department reserves the right to require transcripts, letters of recommendation, an additional portfolio review, or audition.

Credit for courses taken seven or more years prior to the date of readmission will be re-evaluated in conjunction with degree programs currently offered. Academic units may choose not to accept courses regardless of when they were completed for credit toward the degree. Final determination on the readmission application will be made by the dean of the college and the decision applies only to the semester listed on the readmission form. If the student is accepted and does not return for that semester, the student must reapply.

In the event of academic or other dismissal, a readmission application will not be considered until a full academic year has elapsed. Readmitted students will carry the cumulative GPA that was in place at the completion of the last semester attended at UArts. Please also note that previous censure any academic standards committee will apply to a readmitted student.
