Special Student Admission

Applicants for admission who wish to enroll for credit but do not wish to pursue a degree at Alabama State University are welcome to apply as special students. Typical examples of special students include a person who already has a degree and enrolls for course work to complete teacher certification requirements; a person who is pursuing a degree at another college or university and makes arrangements with that university to complete certain course work here; a person who signs up for a seminar or workshop that awards college credit; or a person who has not earned a degree but wishes to take courses for general knowledge and personal satisfaction. A special student may enroll on a full-time or part-time basis, but may not become a candidate for graduation since special student status is not intended for degree-seeking students.

Special students may not be enrolled for more than two consecutive semesters.

To continue enrollment at Alabama State University, students must meet beginning freshman or transfer requirements.
