NON-DEGREE STUDENTS
A non-degree student is any student who has not met the necessary admission requirements or is not pursuing a degree or vocational program. Credits earned cannot be credited toward a degree or program diploma until all admissions requirements have been satisfied and their credit records evaluated by the Registrar.
Non-degree students are not eligible for graduation and are not eligible to receive any Title IV financial aid. Non-degree seeking students who want to change to degree-seeking must do so prior to course registration for that semester.
Note: If a non-degree seeking student is already registered in classes for the semester, the change will be effective for the next semester.
A complete admissions file includes:
1. Admissions Application To apply online and pay your application fee (if applicable) by credit card, check card or electronic check, please go online to the BSC web-based admissions application. Note: You must have a valid email address to apply online.
2. Application Fee There is a $35 application fee for all students applying to Bismarck State College. This fee can be paid online with your admissions application.
Any student who provides documented proof of active military duty status will have the fee waived. Proper documentation includes a copy of one of the following:
- Common Access Card (CAC)
- Military ID indicating Active Duty Status
- Orders indicating Active Duty Status
A copy of the documentation may be faxed to the Admissions office at 701-224-5643 or emailed to BSC.Admissions@bismarckstate.edu.
3. Non-Degree Seeking Requirement Verification The Non-Degree Seeking Requirement Verification form is a requirement of Non-Degree seeking students to ensure the understanding of the non-degree student status.
Non-Degree students are not eligible to receive a degree or federal financial aid from Bismarck State College.
If you wish to receive a degree or federal financial aid, you will need to re-apply to BSC as a degree seeking student and meet all the admissions requirements. You cannot become a degree seeking student in the middle of a semester, only before the beginning of a semester.
By submitting this form you are stating that you understand the limitations of being a non-degree seeking student.
If you have further questions, please contact the BSC Admissions office at 701-224-5429 or email BSC.Admissions@bismarckstate.edu.
5. Assessment. All students who plan to take an English or Math course must submit appropriate assessment scores prior to enrollment. If you have not previously completed a college level Math and/or English course, an ACT score is required for students under age 25. For students 25 and older a COMPASS or ACCUPLACER score is required.
- ACT scores more than five years old and COMPASS or ACCUPLACER scores more than three years old are considered expired.
For more information about placement tests, please view the Placement Test Information and Proctor Agreement for ACCUPLACER Assessment.
