Examples of non-degree students include:

  • Transient students are responsible for ensuring that 蘑菇短视频classes transfer back to their home institution. Typically you'll work with your home institution's Registrar's Office to complete the transfer process.
• Special non-degree students who plan to take a college class for personal, educational, or professional enrichment, but do not plan to complete a degree at WCU. Examples include:
  • Students completing pre-requisite classes before applying to a graduate/professional program.
  • Professionals who need to complete classes to maintain their licensure or credentials. If you already have an undergraduate degree and need to obtain your teacher certification, review the information on the Teacher Certification page before applying.
• If you are a current high school student and want to get a head start on your college classes, you can apply as a dually enrolled student.
