Special Admission, Graduate Programs — SGCS

A student who does not plan to become a candidate for the master's degree in this institution, but who wishes to take work for graduate credit as a special graduate student, may do so by submitting all application forms for admission and meeting requirements that include:

1. Possessing of a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
2. Submitting official transcripts from

   all

   previously attended institutions.
3. Providing recommendations as required by a particular program.
4. Demonstrating ability to do graduate-level course work as evidenced by transcripts and recommendations.
5. Completing other requirements as stated in the general admissions section above.

A student admitted by special admission is not expected to pursue a program leading to a degree at Olivet Nazarene University. Should he or she later desire to do so, an application for change of status must be submitted to the Associate Registrar - SGCS, approval obtained, coursework evaluated, and regular steps in the graduate program followed. Credit earned as a special student is not automatically applied toward degree requirements.
