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 Office of Admissions and Student Services, 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.
