Unclassified Student Admission

A student who is not pursuing a university degree and wants to take individual courses for personal development may be admitted as an unclassified student. A maximum of 6 credit hours per semester and a total of 18 credit hours may be completed with this status. This does not constitute admission to a University program and the University does not maintain degree audits for this classification. Unclassified students who subsequently wish to pursue a degree program must apply for regular admission status and at that time will receive a degree audit of the chosen major. Information on degree programs is available in the Registration and Academic Services office.

Guest students from other colleges should have the approval of their home institution. By special arrangement, high school students may register with unclassified status while meeting requirements for high school graduation. It is encouraged that high school students seeking to register as an unclassified student explore the dual enrollment opportunities at IWU-Marion prior to pursuing an unclassified opportunity.

Students admitted with an unclassified status who wish to audit courses comply with all unclassified and audit requirements. Auditing does not constitute admission to a university program and does not result in transcripted credit for coursework completed. Audit students who subsequently wish to pursue a degree program must apply for regular admission status. By special arrangement, high school students may register with audit status. It is encouraged that high school students seeking to register as an unclassified student explore the dual enrollment opportunities at IWU-Marion prior to pursuing an unclassified opportunity.
