360 BOARD O F T R U S T E E S [ S e p t e m b e r 15 Financial Considerations There are no current differences in the cost per credit hour for course work taken on the unclassified, irregular, or graduate unassigned status. It should be reaffirmed that course work on nondegree status is recorded on University official ledgers and carries the same financial responsibilities per credit hour as enrollment on degree status. Cost of implementation of these proposals should be matched by long-term savings in the clarification of enrollment categories. Central computer support systems at the campus level must be changed to incorporate agreed-upon restrictions, particularly for advance enrollment and registration. At the graduate college level, this proposal is paralleled with an administrative change to move nondegree admission decisions from the Graduate College to the appropriate academic department. Clear descriptions of potential enrollment status should save staff resources currently used in clarifying these matters for potential applicants and current oncampus students. The clear identification of nondegree students and the control of their enrollment so that they do not encroach upon the privileges of the degree student does allow for the potential of identifying this segment of the enrollment as public service, since their class attendance will typically be on a class-available basis above enrollment quotas. Current Policy Admission of Unclassified Students' A person twenty-one years of age or over who is unable to meet the requirements for admission as a degree candidate may be admitted to the University as an unclassified student (not a candidate for a degree) in an undergraduate college, provided he or she secures the approval of the dean of the college concerned. He or she may be required to obtain the recommendation of the instructors in whose courses he or she wishes to enroll. He or she must give evidence that he or she possesses the requisite information and ability to pursue profitably, as an unclassified student, his or her chosen subjects, and he or she must meet the special requirements, if any, for the particular college in which he or she wishes to enroll. An unclassified student in any college of the University may not enroll for more than two years except by special permission; application must be made through the dean of the college. A person registered as an unclassified student in one college and desiring to take a course in another college of the University must also obtain the approval of the dean of the latter college. Admission and Registration of Part-time and Nondegree students1 A. Undergraduate Students 1. An applicant for admission or readmission as a part-time student must indicate this intention on his or her original application and submit the same credentials to the Office of Admissions and Records, as does the regular applicant. 2. The college of the student's choice must approve the admission and continuation of a part-time student. 3. In those colleges and curricula for which qualified applicants exceed available spaces, registration of part-time students and nondegree candidates may be deferred to the third day of the late registration period. The late registration fine is waived for students so deferred. 4. Continuing part-time students are not permitted to advance enroll. B. Graduate Nondegree Candidates 1. Nondegree status for graduate students is restricted to persons who have no interest in obtaining a degree on the Urbana-Champaign campus. 1 From Undergraduate Programs, 7975-77.
