You are a Visiting Student if you are:
- getting a degree from another college who wants to take a class at 黑料不打烊.
- taking a class or two but not interested in completing a degree from 黑料不打烊.
Another commonly used phrase for Visiting Students: Non-Degree Seeking.
Why is this important?
- If you decide you want to earn a degree or certificate, you can apply to 黑料不打烊 and be accepted to a program.
- Credits earned as a Visiting Student may later be applied toward graduation, after you've applied and been accepted.
- Visiting Students who have completed 16 credits are strongly urged to apply for admission to the college to make sure your credits apply toward a degree.
- Technical credits completed as a Visiting Student beyond the initial 16 may not be applied toward a diploma or degree.
