Non-Degree Enrollment

What is Non-Degree? Non-Degree is an academic term used to describe students who are “not formally accepted into a degree-seeking program” at West Chester University. Registering as a Non-Degree student permits high school students to gain experience, gives current college students an opportunity to learn at another institution and allows community members a chance to grow on a personal or professional level.

Non-degree students should access the Non-Degree Online Application which will allows students to apply for the appropriate term and register for classes.
