2026-2027 Academic Catalog

Non-Degree Seeking Student

Non-degree seeking students are those students who have not been admitted as candidates for a degree at Randolph-Macon College. Categories of non-degree seeking students may include but are not limited to exchange students, post-baccalaureate students, and college faculty and staff and their dependents.

Generally, non-degree seeking applicants must present academic or other credentials comparable to those of admitted full-time students. Randolph-Macon does not generally accommodate non-degree seeking status requests from traditional college applicants who are initially denied admission or persons not eligible to return to the last institution attended.

Enrollment of non-degree seeking students is contingent upon seat availability after the registration needs of degree-seeking students have been met and upon the student’s satisfaction of all course prerequisites or placement requirements, as determined by the College. The College reserves the right to limit or deny enrollment in specific courses or terms based on academic, curricular, or capacity considerations.

Non-degree seeking students may not enroll in January Term courses. 

Non-degree seeking students are expected to maintain academic standards comparable to those of degree seeking students. Non-degree seeking students whose academic performance is unsatisfactory may be prohibited from future enrollment.
