Non-Degree Seeking Student Admissions

You are a non-degree seeking student if you have graduated from high school or completed the GED and want to take a few courses at MSUM, but not complete a bachelors or masters degree.

You should complete a Non-Degree Seeking application if you plan to:

  • complete a certificate program
  • complete courses to transfer back to your current institution
  • take a few courses for personal, professional development and enrichment

Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for federal financial aid. For more information about covering your tuition costs, learn more about payment plans and loans.

To see our up-to-date course offerings before applying, review the course schedule.

Visiting Student Program

If you are a current student at another Minnesota State school, please utilize our visiting student program and register for the courses through eServices using your StarID credentials.

  • If you are interested in taking a course that has a pre-requisite or restriction, the instructor for the course will need to review and approve you to take the course. Please apply as non-degree seeking student using your StarID credentials in order for the instructor to be able to override you into the course. If there are no restrictions or pre-requisites for the course, you do not need to submit an application.
