394 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 21 SCHEMATIC PRESENTATION OF ENROLLMENT CATEGORIES Class Codes Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior Nondegree Second bachelor's Graduate, beginning Graduate, advanced Degree Full-time Part-time A1 B A B A B A B Nondegree Full-time Part-time A A A B D - 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. 1 2 A =^ The preferred and presumed enrollment category. B = Enrollment limited to less than 12 semester hours of course work per term. G = Nondegree full time. D = Nondegree part time. From Undergraduate Programs, 1975-77.
